Which poster would you most like to race and in what event?

The Fortress
Who do you want to race? In what event? The race is on. I'm challenging Richjb to a 50 ***. :rofl: I'll even challenge Terry to a 50 butterfrog.

    Well, I am still pretty new to this forum so I am not sure who swims what. So, I'd have to go for an open water swim, preferably saltwater, at least 5K (farther would be better, though), so maybe Lindsay NB and Terry Laughlin? Who else swims OW? I am a reformed OW swimmer, last season I didn't race anything over 200m, this season I haven't raced anything over 100m... Right now I am experimenting with the "to swim fast in a race you have to swim fast in practice" theory, it seems to be working for me, I recently took 2.5s of my 100fr. It's still very pokey by absolute standards though. And I have to say that my "effortless" OW distance stroke is also "speedless". ;) I think Rob Copeland and Leonard would be more worthy OW challengers (and maybe "some caped crusader guy"), I'm just a theory geek! As I told a friend recently, I am discovering that, unfortunately, just because I have no talent for distance doesn't mean I have any talent for sprinting. On the plus side I don't get lapped! :o
