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

I will be one of your nemesises in the 100 or 200 fly Rich if you want.....but NO breasstroke for me....The only amount of breasstroke I'm willing to do anymore is the 25 breaststroke that comes in a 100 IM. Its not just because I hate breaststroke.....it has more to do with the damage to me knees (my left knee in particular). We can race middle distance freestyle or backstroke events if you want....or the 100 IM.

p.s. Good swims Gull and Geek....Nice to see the rivalry between you guys is still going strong. Isn't Geek younger than you though Gull?
