All commentary, advice and cheering accepted. If anyone else has another grudge race, pile on.
  • 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. YAY! Katie joined the forum! Now, you want to talk about over-training, Katie was over 150 miles at the end of Feb and has the FORTH highest mileage for the "Go The Distance" challenge. If we go to dinner on Friday will be be after the 1650 or will that be too late? I'm up for either night. Jules
  • 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: i'm voting for saturday night, only because i'm not sure if i will be down that way on friday night (no clue if muppet is swimming the 1000 or not...) and no offense, driving to NoVa from the NE corner of Montgomery county just for dinner on a friday night is a tall order (you metro area forumites know exactly what i'm talking about! ;) )
  • I want in on the action.......bad knee, out of shape, untapered and totally lacking a tan......I'm entered in this weekends Arizona state meet: 50, 100, 200 & 500 free and 50 fly.... Geek.....put some money on the table for the 500 buddy! Fort.....I'll spot you 3 seconds in the 50 fly and out a nice bottle of Paradigm Cab up for grabs
  • I want in on the action.......bad knee, out of shape, untapered and totally lacking a tan...... Fort.....I'll spot you 3 seconds in the 50 fly and out a nice bottle of Paradigm Cab up for grabs Now this is my kind of challenge! Not sure 3 seconds will be enough though. I haven't done much besides one arm fly in 3 weeks. He, he. Last weekend, the 50 was a little sketchy. I assume we are not supposed to die in a 50 SCM? :rofl: But I feel sure I can improve with this great incentive. Plus, I can't let some girl and flyqueen get the best of me even with their fancy tapers and fastskin pros. Bring it! :lolup: I'm so fired up I may need to go out for a run in the nice weather and work on my tan.
  • 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.

  • If FQ and SG both come...make them fight for the top bunk!!! I have about 7" and fifty pounds on her. She has the twisty ways of a gymnast. It would be interesting. Anyway, it's a good thing Fort has plenty of children--she won't even notice the extra loud flyers.
  • I have about 7" and fifty pounds on her. She has the twisty ways of a gymnast. It would be interesting. Anyway, it's a good thing Fort has plenty of children--she won't even notice the extra loud flyers. Everyone is loud in my house and fighting over food and whatnot, so you would all fit right in. As to winning a "fight," well, as FlyQueen knows, I have the best "guns." :thhbbb: And do not be bragging about that height advantage either, some girl. My secret nemesis is 6'. Last time we went head to head in the same heat in Dec., I smoked her. Muppet and SwimmieAvs were witnesses. I don't need no stinkin' 7 or 8 inches. :lolup: I expect to see at least one of you in that guest cottage on July 1 for Muppet's meet. It might be my only LC meet this year ... (Possibly day one of zones too.) That is my fav pool in the area. I just wish he would change the start time. Doesn't he know that FlyQueen and I are night owls? Can't he schedule a meet around our preferences and let us sleep in?! :thhbbb: :dedhorse: (for Muppet, haven't done that in awhile)
  • I meant for the bed fight. There are plenty of short flyers who kill me routinely.

But you two have about a million seconds on me and FlyPrincess anyways. Cheater? Don't be a hater just because you don't have one! Besides, if Heather is going to smoke your times, she trained hard and probably deserves a fast time. Its not the suit making her swim fast (and if it were, yes, she would be a cheater - and the fs pros would be banned). How about the both of you come to DC July 1 for the Terrapin Cup and face off against each other LCM??? Ain't nothing like a LCM Fly event to see who the real swimmers are!
