I just saw the 2007 Check-off challenge on the home page. What a GREAT shirt! I've considered doing this every year and always chickened out. I'm NOT a distance swimmer and the thought of a 1650 scares me to death! I would like to challenge myself to try some new events this year. (maybe leave off the 200 Fly-bad shoulders!) I always swim the sprints and the 200 IM and free. I'd like to challenge my fellow Masters to join this challenge with me.....anybody?
Hmm...don't have to compete...
I could complete any of the pool events. Just have to finish, don't have to be fast or do it well!
However, it looks like you need to try to accomplish a couple open water events, too. Is this true? I thought it was a tour de pool? I just plain do not enjoy swimming open water. I might consider it if the water was warmer but waiting for warmer water around here means jellyfish, which I am terrified of (from a sting incident when I was little). I've never swam in a pond...still sounds cold, icky, can't see where you are going, bumping into people.
