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)

  • Bring it on Mollie.....cash in hand...I'm ready for you!! Bring it on Rich Abraham ... cash in hand ... I'm ready for you!!! The 50 free is only my fourth favorite event however ... Care for a 50 fly or 50 back? Right. If there are some other 60ish male posters that are supposed to be racing 45 year old women, I'd be happy to oblige unless they're breaststrokers or butterfroggers. Gee, Paul, I'm not sure you want to take on Mollie with that knee. Do you have any idea how fast she is? Go Mollie, fast PV swimmer. :woot: Sorry, Paul, but it's a Sistahood thing.
