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.

OW is certainly addictive. Just ask Dave "13 swims in 2007" Barra. The Bay Swim (June 10) has a 1mile race which is a great way to get into OW. There is about a 1/4 mile of it that is subject to bay currents, but the rest is fairly easy. Wetsuit is allowed, but this is quick and shallow enough that you don't really need one. Start and Finish are at the same place, and the 4.4 finishes there too - its all at a dockside bar, so the libations flow afterwards! :drink:
I just want to try it at least...I figure even if I'm having a rough time a mile is only a mile and I can breaststroke it if need be. I'll have to look at logistics getting there and back..whether to stay down... etc etc
