    My money is on Fortress to take that 100 free and swimming it with as many breaths as needed cause even injured, sick, etc., the girl is a fierce competitor and knows she can just feel bad afterwards. I think Fort may also be adding this particular race to her bag of tricks after winning the 100 free. :drink: And the party/dinner afterwards sounds like one of these :groovy: Good luck to all!!!

    Is this fair? Rich is wearing my heels and you're stealing my drugs? I already am going to have to breathe every stroke in the 100 free ... I want another handicap. Barb: You must get that 50 *** race on vid for all to see! I'll try to bring my digital camera for the hot tub shots.;) Damn. What time is the 50 ***? I was planning on driving back to Philly and taxes Sunday morning, but now I don't know how I can. I mean, I can file extensions for my clients, right?

    Damn, damn, damn. Rich - the plus 2 for dinner: the mrs and mom? No way, I wanna have a good time and NOT get interrogated back at HQ! j/k nope 2 CONN team mates possilby.
  • I'm hoping to make the dinner also, in order to help Rich defend the honor of breaststrokers everywhere. Be careful what you say about breaststroke in my presence, or you may not like what happens to your avatar or user name the next day.:laugh2: Ooooh. :eek: That's a big threat, since I change my avatar daily. :rofl: I could use some advice on how to download those moving avatars you use though. I really like yours. I am rather attached to my FAF Sista user name though. That's be a shame to lose. My twin and baby sister would be furious, I'm sure. :lolup: Oh, I like breaststrokers just fine. I just don't want to walk like a duck or be forced to swim any breaststroke except for my one length per meet. In fact, when I count all those myriad relays, I think I am swimming more lengths of freestyle this meet than anything. :eek: :confused: Now, that's a first for me, as a former FH. We seem to be up to 20-21 for dinner, folks. Attagirls and attaboys to everyone who shows up. One check for all, tip added on automatically. Bring cash please. Sorry, but that's just the way they do it for big groups of loud flyers and whatnot. ;)

    Aww.... Thanks Donna. After I take my pure 500 mg Vitamin B12 tablets with no filler that I'm ordering by Fed Ex and drink some Rock Star, :rofl: , I'll be great. I think you could win the 100 free in the women's 45-49 group hands down. I'm not racing that youthful SwimmieAvsFan person is this event!! Only in the 50 back showdown. Just trying to score points for the team. My coach said to drink 32 oz of water first think in the morning in lieu of coffee. :eek: :eek: :eek: I think I will have to decline this advice. Breaststrokers with pinot grigio and pelargonium sidoides... HA! Don't know about that 100 free for me, but from the looks from the Psych Sheets, I'd do pretty well in the 1000 and 1650. I'd hurt way too bad trying to sprint a 100 free in 1:10 or better. 1:12 would be more like it for me.
  • I think I am swimming more lengths of freestyle this meet than anything. Just think - if you signed up for the 500 free, you could knock all those lengths of freestyle out at once! :dedhorse: :banana: :groovy: :rofl:
