He took out my world records in the 100 and 200 *** plus both the 100 and 400 IM records.
Rick was a medalist in the Montreal Olympics in 1976. He politely left me with the 50 record in 60-64 I think because</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Rick Colella is a "beast"!</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/170896?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Nov 2011 12:04:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:01d91569-ec35-49ca-9d07-77a896796f5c</guid><dc:creator>jaadams1</dc:creator><description>There&amp;#39;s a little bio of Rick here: &lt;a href="http://www.pns.org/pnws2/__doc__/halloffame_04_index.html"&gt;www.pns.org/.../halloffame_04_index.html&lt;/a&gt;

Those are exremely impressive times for a 60 year old. Bob, now it&amp;#39;s your turn at Long Beach. Sorry I won&amp;#39;t be there to watch.

If you want to go hatin&amp;#39; on somebody, jaadams1 provided Rick a rabbit to chase in the 400 IM :bolt:
 
 
You&amp;#39;re welcome!!  :)  I was going for my own NW Zone record at the same time as Rick was going for his WR in the 400 IM!!  I missed mine by 3 seconds though, but apparently it helped Rick by having me out there.  He thanked me afterward for NOT being a breaststroker.  :banana: (It is EVIL, as is backstroke).  At least I can say I beat a former Olympian, even though he is almost twice my age!!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Rick Colella is a "beast"!</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/170745?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Nov 2011 02:40:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:ff9b1ad9-292a-47c7-bf34-aaeffb70a8e1</guid><dc:creator>orca1946</dc:creator><description>What were the times he swam?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Rick Colella is a "beast"!</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/170726?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Nov 2011 02:18:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:eaf33d96-482e-4ce8-a162-2fb4bc3316d9</guid><dc:creator>That Guy</dc:creator><description>The 50 *** was offered in the meet but I think Rick just entered those four events and not the 50 for whatever reason.
