I received a challenge from New masters swimmer aka jim B
he wrote
"Overall I'm not quite ready to vanquish Ande yet .... but I am formally challenging Ande on the 500 free...... At the end of the short course season, the man with the slower 500 free time has to buy the other swimmer one beer for every second he is behind the faster swimmers time .... (kinda like the John Smith vs Bobby Patten bet at Nationals last year) ..... Hopefully Ande will go to Nationals in Coral Gables this year so we might get to face off head to head in the 500. Ande has more overall speed than I do right now ..... so I think that the 500 is my best chance (if there is any chance at all?).... but what the heck.... I can't just roll over and submit defeat to an ex longhorn now can I!!??"
Should I accept?
ande
pressure is mounting
great idea, same meet same entry time ...
other wise it's like a postal swim
but it looks like i'll be swimming a few 500's
thanks for backing your fellow longhorn

Do it, Ande! And don't worry about your blog. It's unlikely he'll want to do the exact same thing you're doing anyway. He might have his own plan.
I'd love to see this race next spring. You both MUST enter with the same time to get into the same heat. I'm sure by next spring the race will become THE EVENT of the meet.
I'm cheering for Ande because Longhorns stick together. But I also like to root for the challengers, too. So right now, I'm an equal opportunity rooter.
