To all of you guys going to Age, a few things to keep in mind this week.
Look after yourselves - this includes loads of sleep, loads of GOOD food, and not doing dumb stuff. When your friend says "hey, lets jump off the roof and see if the shrub breaks our fall" you can politely decline the kind offer. At least until you get back.
Training will have hard bits - not as much as usual but there has to be some high intensity stuff in there. We have drastically reduced the volume but the intensity has to stay high.
Know that there will be stressed people - be it coaches, swimmers or parents. I get stressed at nats and I know many others do too. It is all part of the process. Learn to recognise it and act accordingly.
Be nice - it is more pleasant that way.
Swim fast - now is the time and soon we will be in the place. As Nic would say, "Game face."
