Grudge Races: Place your bets

Wow, let the banter begin! I sure have missed a lot! All I will say is to all who voted in my favor, thank you, and I will try not to let you down. It will definetely be a great meet! :drink: :banana: :rofl: :notworthy: :applaud: :groovy: did i imply that you shouldn't swim the 500 right before the 200 fly? what was i thinking! i think i should get myself a cute nickname to sway the teenage girl vote to my favor!:thhbbb:

Rich that cap is great, where did you get it? Sarah, you want in on that?

Rich that cap is great, where did you get it? Sarah, you want in on that? "I'm fast you're last" They sell them in the UK. Now I am not sure of the sizing. I read somewhere they are for jrs. If I can find out for sure I will try to get a few over with my mother. If anyone want's one let me know they're about $12

For group dining, I was told the following: Brion's Grill, Red Hot & Blue, Joe's Place. All three are very close to the pool and can accomodate big groups. Brion's Grill is accross Braddock Road, Red Hot & Blue is just up 123 and Joe's Place is off Old Lee Highway. If you have more than 10 people you should call ahead to set it up. If we want to get together, we should pick a night. Uh, yes, no 1000 or 1650 for me. Very funny, Jules. Endurance kills speed. If we are going to dine on Friday, I can come count for someone beforehand! You and Muppet are quite the pair with your spreadsheets. Muppet has his on his cell. I think I am too old to participate in that. I just stick a time in and go.

I'm thinking of wearing this cap (see pic) and if Jeff wins our race I'll hand it over. It can be like an annual trophy thing...winner gets to keep it. :p This cap could prompt some deck shopping. Better purchase a few. I'll take one to trade back and forth with Mollie and Jules. Dave: You don't need a new nickname to steal the girl vote from SS or Muppet. Just flash around those cute pics from the USMS mag or send around that open water vid. I think that should do the trick! ;)

I don't have an FS Pro, unlike some cheaters. I had a cheap Nike one but I left it at the pool last weekend. (Good thing it was getting stretched out anyway!) But you two have about a million seconds on me and FlyPrincess anyways. quoted by Some_Girl in response to Fortissomo Yaeh then add a million more seconds to that to see how much difference there will be between me and Fort LOL!! Sorry Fort, a million seconds may be a "slight" exaggeration I suppose....but hey I'm a loud flyer charging dinosaur too (as Peter puts it) and I've been waiting for any excuse to challenge you in something every since you started ribbing me about my chess comments. I will get you Fort one way or another...you will see my friend...Oh you will see!! LOL! Newmastersswimmer p.s. In Fort's case she is not just a loud flyer...she's a "fortissimo flyer"....(thats an extra loud flyer BTW LOL!)....Just j/k of course now Fort! I just couldn't resist using the fortissimo flyer there....I'm weak and old o.k.!

Fortress....this is Julie's crazy distance swimming friend...when do you swim at Regency SHC? Where else do you swim? I think Julie and I will be swimming MW mornings there...feel free to join us! It is awesome to watch the sun come up while swimming. Mollie....where you swimming Penn State masters for awhile? I hope to see everyone at Zones.

Love that user name, BTW. Make sure you let Jules actually taper for zones. She doesn't trust herself, and is an overtraining addict, as you know, so it is incumbent upon us all to remind her to rest! What events are you swimming? I swim at the Regency quite often and lift and spin there occasionally. I don't go in the wee, wee hours though -- three kids to get off to school. So it's afternoons or evening for me. I also swim at Springhill Rec at lot -- way nice pool and cooler. In the summer, I swim at Cardinal Hill a bit, my kids' summer swim league. I also train with my real team more in the summer when the kidlet demands/activities ebb a wee bit. Come join. LC all summer! So is the official forumites diner on Friday or Saturday night? Which place? We can't pass up this opportunity to trash talk and eat. Jim Thornton is coming now too! :groovy:

Mollie....where you swimming Penn State masters for awhile? I hope to see everyone at Zones. katie, i was indeed swimming PSU masters for a while (we were actually called Big Cat Masters). i have sinced moved to DC, so i changed my team affiliation to Terrapin Masters (i just can't seem to leave behind the college-connected teams :) ) i'll definitely be at zones, Terrapin masters usually sit down by the diving boards. stop by and say hi!
