We have a few grudge races amongst forum regulars coming up at Colonies Zones. They are:
Muppet vs. Dave Barra: 200 fly
SwimStud vs. Muppet: 50 ***
Fortress vs. SwimmieAvsFan: 50 back
Here's the poll. Place your bets; no limits on voting. All races should be hotly contested. All commentary, advice and cheering accepted. If anyone else has another grudge race, pile on.

Well, I am not in your Zone because I live in the Twilight Zone down here, but just based on forum chit-chat, I'd love to see Dave Barra and Muppet swim the 200 fly; that is a grueling race and although I have never seen a picture of Muppet in person, I did see Dave Barra in Swimmer magazine (March/April) and my heart pitter-pattered a bit. And I've seen a picture of Fortress and Swim Stud, and I'll tell you, USMS has some darn good looking folks in it, so I have no grudges I can swim against because Kaizen doesn't swim against me yet. So what I would like to see is PBs from everyone and an actual tie somewhere because that just never happens and the excitement of close races is thrilling; something I miss terribly.
I sure expect to see some video on YouTube of you folks!! And I did vote twice above in the poll. Maybe some year I can return and come to a LC Natl and swim the 800 or 1500 and see how well I fare against my age group!!
donna, you're making me blush! that caribean lighting (and tons of airbrushing) can make anyone look good! thanks for the good wishes.
