Anyone not too injured to come to Colonies Zones?

200 ***? Isn't that right after the 200 back? I'm skipping the 200 back at Albatross. I would rather just stick to swimming it at Zones only. At Albatross, I'm in the 200 IM, 200 Free, 200 *** and 400 IM. I'm thinking of bagging backstroke altogether, although it's all I swam at Albatross last year ... Ok, so I just went and looked up your time from the 100 back last year since we both swam it at Albatross open and we finished .06 apart. I remember my heat being very close, so I went and dug out my heat sheet (I keep them in a binder but am really not sure why I don't just throw them away after the meet) and we were in the lanes right next to each other. I remember that being an exciting race, definitely made me swim fast! You ARE a sprinter, I remember you going out WAY fast in that event and thinking now way am I going to catch her on the second 50. We could have a fun little rivalry in the 100 back :)

We could have a fun little rivalry in the 100 back :) So that was you... (I don't keep heat sheets. Only some of my kids.) Har, har. I remember thinking, well at least she's way, way, way younger than me. ;) That was my first ever inaugural masters 100 back so I still have fond memories. I was also just whistling in the wind about a seed time last year. I'm still a rank newbie. I might do the 100 again at Albatross. WD says not to do too many events though, so I haven't sent in my entry form yet. Besides, no rush, I'm not ready to do the 400 IM yet just to piss off Dave Barra. You and BH can have fun with that! Besides, if there is any backstroke involved, I have a swim off with SwimmieAvsFan in the 50 after our close finish at the Sprint Classic. I also have BC-D to contend with who was in my heat of the 50 back last year at Albatross and who's looking to avenge the Sprint Classic ... Maybe I'll ditch them both and just swim against my secret nemesis ... She can't do backstroke at all. So I could go mano-a-mano in the 50 fly and 50 free SCM at Albatross. You can swim against SwimmieAvsFan in the 200 there and at zones. A truly formidable foe. I think I can get all my 50s in at zones though. (Well, not that yucky breaststroke thing.) Plus, a few 100s. But I'm telling you, you are tee'd up for those longer relays. Have fun! My best event is really a 25 or a 25 SDK with fins. I suck at everything else.

what a "glass half empty" way to ask. i will be going to zones. hope to bring between 15 and 20 ADMS team mates with me. we will hit the distance events hard as we did last year and hopefully have enough relays to keep a good team points standing. the nys chapionships are the following weekend, so my focus for zones will be the longer events. i will save the sprint stuff for states. that will be all the scy for me. after states, its OW 'till Oct. thanks for askin:drink:

i think we had about 15 swimmers last year. most of us will go to zones but not nationals this year.

I amim to be there...with my video camera! :D I may show up just to see those "diamond calves." I apologize for bashing your balance avatar. I like this one better. What's with the signature? Is that a reference to a FlyQueen comment? Doesn't seem like FlyQueen is any more likely to roll over than Feistress. I hope Feistress doesn't stay "dour." Boo. I like her sunshiney bon vivant FAF Sista side better. Jeez, I'll even use a :banana: . But I wouldn't want to see her atempt that 200 fly. I'm sure that would be ugly ... So who are you going to film?

I'm going to make a documentary...a bit like "Supersize me" except It'll follow me on my trek around the US to various swim meets. Watch out for the new innovation "Speedo-Cam" :eek: LOL

originally I was planning on comming to colonies zones but I found out that it is on greek week so I cant go, however I will be going to the maryland masters winter meet. anyone else going to that?

What is the butterfrog? You mean butter fly? :eek: :eek: Another Frenchy? Asking about zee butterfrog? Frank wrote an informative dissertation about it on another thread. I can't remember which one now. But you can go to the "Butterfrog Video Posted" thread to see what it looks like live. Are you swimming at zones, le nageur?

:eek: :eek: Are you swimming at zones, le nageur? Non madamoiselle. Not this year.
