Some girl, I'm betting you are faster. I'm still somewhat new to this whole masters swim thing and to swimming in general. What are your events? I am positive you could take me in back and *** and likely anything over 100 yards as those events are too far for me.

This is only my second year racing. My youthful swimming was pretty much tea parties at the bottom of the pool and getting beaten up by waves. Like you, I pretty much swim only fly and free: 50 and 100 (200 free sometimes). Maybe we are the same person?
Oh, then your on for a 50 fly. Or a 50 free your choice. I'm aiming to break :30 in my fly and for a :26 in my free, though I'm sadly off on both of those right now.
I'd like to race FlyQueen to see who can do the most consecutive front walkovers across Wrigley Field from first to third base. :joker:
You'd win hands down. I was NEVER able to do front walkover. My front tumbling in general was a joke - I could rotate well so my flips weren't terrible, but I was not a twister and was certainly never good enough to learn double fronts so my front tumbling passes were always a challenge.
If we change it to backwalkovers you are on!

50 fly you're on for. I'm much closer to a 30 in that than a 26 in the 50 free. Going to nationals?
I'm not close to that 26 yet either. Though hopefully by taper I will be. Not going to Nationals this year, but definitely next. Perhaps we can postal our times this year.
Hello Teammate! We missed you there this weekend, Swimmy!
The animal race went well for the first 2/3 of the challenge. 400IM was in PB time of 4:48.27, and 1:05 behind the leader. 200 Fly another PB with 2:15.28, 1st place finish, and moved closer, now .60 behind the leader.
There were some issues that did not allow us to finish our bet at that time, so the 500 portion will be swum as part of practice on Wednesday evening. All are invited!!
Hahaha! Someone had to go to practice on Saturday! I only race when there are sharks or jellyfish or sea lions chasing me! Good luck on Wed.!
Swimmy:)
I sense a challenge coming on!!! Not much of a 200 flyer, but I have swum the 200 fly a few times as parts of bets... case in point, am doing it this weekend as part of the 200 fly, 400im, 500 free "animal" bet a few folks on my team are doing. Last swam 2 years ago, I think, and I think the PB was 2:17. With that event order and a recovering cold/sinus infection, I might be hitting that 3min mark. :dedhorse:
How did your "animal" race go this weekend?
Swimmy :)
