Patrick's claim to feel "cheated" that he missed a 400 LCM IM. That's just wrong.How dare you disparage the world's greatest event ... though, truth be told, I like it even more in SCM than LCM.
Why not try an 800 SCM IM one day. That Guy and myself will be doing it in 2 weeks here in Federal Way. There's still time to get entered in the meet if you want.
...and I second the "PWB, you lazy slug". Greatest title ever :D
:applaud: but even for me it's embarassing to negatively split a 400 IM. :blush:
-I swim, therefore IM
For me, it would have been embarassing if I had not negative split my first LCM 400 IM! As a breaststroker, I would have :cry:.
-I swim, therefore IM : :applaud:

I prefer the SCY version of the 400 IM to the other two. Since it's a little bit shorter, I can attack it more.
I'm guessing that I will prefer the SCM version of the 800 IM to the LCM version. More pullouts, less breaststroke! :cheerleader: But the 800 LCM IM was great fun, so the standard is pretty high here.
Second! It's truly the world's greatest event, covering almost every aspect of swimming.
The world's greatest event isn't even offered in a meet, that being the 3K. Until it is, the pure and true swimmers have to settle for a paltry 1500/1650.
Best thread title ever.
Though somewhat belied by Patrick's claim to feel "cheated" that he missed a 400 LCM IM. That's just wrong.
True. I did a 400 IM earlier this year just so my coaches would be so horrified and embarrassed that they will never ask me to do one again.
How dare you disparage the world's greatest event
Meh, I'd respect it more if it didn't include -- nay, emphasize -- breaststroke, an obsolete stroke. Why not include trudgen crawl and sidestroke while you're at it?
We would then have breaststroke, trudgen crawl, side stroke and elementary backstroke!!
Sounds like a new IM challenge event for That Guy to attempt. :D
Fly = sidestroke
Back = elementary backstroke
*** = breaststroke
Free = trudgen crawl
3000 IM that one That Guy! :bolt:
