OK...Here comes a thread for all of you wannabe odds-makers.
Post your thoughts for establishing handicaps for personal challenge races.
Here are a couple of mine:
1. Age credit: basic idea.....the older of the two gets a handicap. (as in chaos vs. muppet) the handicap goes to yours truly.
2. Wetsuit penalty: self explanatory....I heard 10% is a good rule of thumb for this one.
3. Personal bests (within 2 years).....swimmers are handicapped based on their best recent performances. (this could make geek vs. gull II a real nail-biter)

Are you insane? After two days of swimming at zones, I will be dead. I will not be doing extra challenge races. I will be sitting in the hot tub. (Dave, the sauna is now over by the rec pool, BTW.) Besides, you don't have to do relays. I just got an email from our "team captain" and it appears I am slated for some. So I will be doing nothing post official races except :drink: to help build my handicap for the next race.

Who says no relays? If CONN calls I will answer...unless it's right before my BR events then I may be selective.
