It was my first pentathlon. You know, maybe it's me, but it's astonishing how tired you get by the time you have to do the IM. Saw a lot of fast swimmers and even though I made a personal best in the 50 free, 26.65, I got spanked by the super heroes in my 45-49 age group. Anyway, I was DQed on the IM for doing the flip backstroke turn. My bad, though I had no idea it wasn't allowed. It's legal for backstroke why not the IM, does anybody know the reasoning? tony

  • Gull just told me he is pawning his Speedo FSII and buying us two tickets to join you next year. Here is a picture of gull so you can pick him out when we show up. Hey, who deleted my photo? By the way, what do I get for my 1000th post Geek: Did you put that picture of Mark from Maryland also know as Freedivmd up? I think you did. Gull: I think that is why your photo was deleted. By the way for your 1000 post, start a thread that you know will be controversial. I know you can do it because your kinda of good at that stuff. To Everyone Who is New: Go to "The Future of Men's Swimming in the US" thread from last summer and you can see the picture that I believe Geek is referring to about Gull.
