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.
The best part of the weekend was seeing my pal Gull in incredible shape, swimming fast and looking good. We had a great time and the meet was again fantastic. We saw a 34 year old fellow go 20.93 in the 50 free which is fast (to me anyway).
Once and for all, here are the Speedo kings of NC.
Thanks Geek and Gull for inspiring everyone with your friendly rivalry, witty banter and love of swimming. As you know, I too am a big believer in the secret, or not so secret, nemesis theory.
As for the pic, it is clear that you are both Speedo Kings, and bear no resemblance to the oft-posted (and good for a laugh) Speedo-Man. Well done! :coffee:
