Congratulations, James on your impressive races! :applaud: That was quite a line-up you had for one day. :afraid:
And, congratulations to you, That Guy, too! :bow: for also racing the 800 as an IM! :applaud:
Thanks Elaine! :)
This means That Guy is winning the gridge by dropping almost 15 seconds from his fastest 400 free time?
Are there any future opportunities for James to redeem himself? Surely he can drop more than 15 seconds? He just needs to go 4:10 or so...
I do remember going a 4:10, or I believe below a 4:10 back in the day as an age grouper/college dude in LCM 400 Free. Not sure it's possible to do now.
For the record...I never approved my entry into this gridge. ;)
I can't decide whether my reaction to an 800 IM is:
a) You people are crazy.
b) Challenge accepted!
Perhaps this is a false dichotomy, now that I think about it.
It's honestly not that hard of an event (granted I am a 200 flyer). It's fun to do once, but I'm not going to make a career of it. I'd rather race the 800 Free for a real time and TTs in USMS
FYI: Australian Masters National Record for 800 IM in my age group. I missed it 5 seconds. :)
Age Group 35-39

I would definitely choose "b) Challenge accepted!" But, I'm afraid if I "race" an 800 IM, everybody else would :yawn: :snore: :bed: .
