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?
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.
I think the idea is great, and the shirt is fabulous!
I can't do all those events at a meet since I don't go to enough meets and would want to avoid embarassing myself in certain events. 200 ***? C'mon.
Doing any sort of real 1650 free would also just lead to Le Tour de Orthopedist for me. Is any sort of cheating allowed? Can we kick the whole 1650 in practice? After all it is "freestyle" ... The 200 fly is whole 'nother thing. I guess I could dolphin dive the whole way.
Open water though? Blechy. I have to look at that entry form more carefully.
I still want a postal sprint quadrathlon ...
