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?

Carrie, my team in Oregon does that type of meet each year (this year March 18th). We call it the Pentathlon. It is a very popular meet. The only difference is we don't offer any events outside of the 4 stroke and IM ones.
I had to learn to do a backstroke start just to compete. It was good for a laugh, I'm sure.

Haha I'm doing 50 fly and the 100 IM in 2 meets in the next few weeks. Fly is tough but compared to back...holy cow. I feel like I need to hold a sign up before I swim these events which says:
"I'm only doing this race because I refuse to spend money on travel and only swim 1 event per day!"
