It's hard to believe that this photo was the reason for a facebook-born gridge ...

I was happy to share my beloved Patriot's recap of an old-fashioned, hard running beat down of the Colts to punch a ticket to the AFC title game this weekend. After some light humor, the idea of adding a swimming challenge was put forth by Sea Hawks fan (and flyer) jaadams. So here are the rules:
Loser does a 1000 fly!
If my team loses: the distance is broken up into a variation of distances, any amount of rest between each length(s), but no insertion of EZ cooldown stuff in the middle. We decided on a fly set of:
10 x 50 @ :50, then 20 x 25 @ :30. This might qualify as my first dabble into USRPT. :D
If his team loses: a straight 1000 fly. I don't think he has done this as a Masters swimmer, and it will easily grant him entry into the Butternut ranks. :bliss:
If BOTH of our teams end up losing at some point during the next few weeks, then we both owe each other a 1,000 Fly workout. The only way out of having to do it is to be the Superbowl Champ...not 1st loser. :bump:
Knowing that ElaineK, jgale, pmmcoy, Swimosar, That Guy, and Yosemite (among others) have an occasional hankering for some distance fly, I felt it my duty to put this out for everyone's enjoyment. Who else is up for this "Bully Fly" fun? :confused:
Our Chargers and Packers are out of it, so who cares? :badday: :sad: Besides, with a meet on January 25th and a two-day meet on February 15-16, distance fly is off the table. I'm already a Butternut with a 900, 1000, and 200 fly, so :thhbbb:.
BUT, having said that, I'm pulling for Seattle. :D
Yikes! I just got done w/ my 1 hour postal today. Isn't that enough pain. But I'll take Denver since they are still on the board. Anyone really want San Francisco at this point?
I live in Charlotte and Since the Panthers lost we had a similar bet going with some others. 5 x 800 IM. If you live through it and actually make it then good for you.
Sorry about that :(. I've got no attachment to the Broncos... they were just the best team left. I'll be mid-taper when the superbowl is played. If the Broncos lose, I'll have to do my 1000 fly on the 17th. It might be fun since I'll still be tapered.

I made right on this gridge becuase the Pat's couldn't make right by me with a win on Sunday. Cruised the 50's (getting avg 8 sec rest) and rather enjoyed the 25's on a little extra rest - even popped out a :15 on the last one!
At least that is over :sad:
