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?
I did the 200 fly at state last year, it was terrible. Survival was the goal. It was ugly. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'll do it this year.
I'll think about signing up but doubt I'd do a 1650 at all ... in practice, a meet, or ever again ...
There is no doubt that my 200 fly would be a survival mission... with success measured solely by: 1. Not DQ'ing and 2. No butterfrog. I'm only thinking about doing it at State because it'd be my last event on the first day.
C'mon Heather, you can do a 1650. Just do it at practice... that's where mine will be done. NO WAY am I doing a distance free event to kick off State again... I was sore the whole dang meet last year.
