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 went to a meet once where you could enter like normal (whatever events you wanted) or you could enter the sprint IM challenge (50s stroke and 100IM), mid-distance IM challenge (100s stroke and 200 IM), or the ironman IM challenge (200s stroke and 400 IM... Good Lord!). I did the sprint IM... it was a blast. The winner was determined by the total time added up for all swims. This would make an AWESOME postal event, IMHO.
FYI to Heather... this sprint IM thingie was the last time I swam a 50 back. It was 99, not 98. It was also the last time I did a backstroke start. We'll see how this weekend goes. heeheeheeheee
