  • Chowmi and I are facing off in the 50 fly at Colonies Zones on Saturday. www.patriotmasters.org/.../index.htm. I wish we were right next to each other, but looks like we'll be in lanes 3 and 5. Make it legal James! Good luck everyone! I'm right nest to Julie in the 500 free. I will be staring at her feet, as usual.

  • See that shiny building labeled "M60-64 SCY Records" standing over there? Looks nice doesn't it? Well it's about to turn to rubble. Again. I'm planning to pace him to a fast 400 IM record...again! He told me last time at Kirkland that he actually enjoys swimming the 400 IM with me right next to him. I get out to a fast Fly/Back, and he trys to reel me in during the breaststroke. My goal is to not see him in front of me on Saturday. :afraid:

I guess that I did good by not quiting the 1650 and finishing the 1000. Now, let's see if my 500 time can be beat my 500 split of my 1650. Last year, my 500 time couldn't beat my 500 split from the 1650. :afraid: > It is noon here which means it is time to hit the bars!!! :drink: I kid.
  • I sense "reality show" potential centered on this theme. I have a video of this race. Both did excellent and Fort broke a National Record. Michelle is doing great here and is really nice. She asked me to tell you all "hello" from her.
