Geek vs. Gull II, or why I now idolize the Geek and have embraced TI

The Geek and I swam head to head this weekend, matching up in the 200 and 500 (in adjacent lanes for both, believe it or not). The Geek won both, beating me by about a second in the 200 and I believe 3 or 4 seconds in the 500. He'd shed 20 pounds since we last raced and shaved (as I did), but he was not wearing a Fastskin. I did swim a personal (Masters) best in the 500, nearly 5 seconds faster than last year, and split it extremely well, but alas it wasn't enough. As the winner, he walked off with a Starbucks gift card and of course this thread. See you in Austin in 2008, Geek. Grats to Geek. Gull very humble of you to post this accolade...unless it was part of a wager. Well done on your PB too.
