Blackbeard/Muppet/Jeff is hosting the Terrapin Cup on July 1. There will be at least one grudge race. Others can join in.
Grudge Race #1: Blackbeard/Muppet vs. Fortress in the 50 meter fly LC
Handicap: Blackbeard gives Fort 2 seconds, one for each decade. (Blackbeard 25-29; Fort 45-49)
Fur: Blackbeard goes full fur. Fort wears a worn out Fastskin II.
Blackbeard profile: Been training like a demon. Just swam the 4.4 mile bay swim in an hour and half. Recently developed a hankering for the 50 fly. May hurt himself in advance playing hockey. May be distracted hosting the meet and making sure everything runs well. May still be drinking too much tequila after Dave Barra paid up from grudge race, part 1. Has home field advantage and endurance advantage.
Fort profile: Sketchy training. Sketchy left shoulder. Monofin injury. But won't be swimming any distance free beforehand. Could suffer mommy guilt from skipping Mini-Fort's meet that morning. Likely will not have much sleep the night before. Will compensate with caffeine or guzzle red bulls like Jim Clemmons. Cruise will likely note that there is a risk that Fort will skip the meet and go shopping.
Place your bets or join in.
(Julie: I'll take you on too in that 50 back again if you want. But I'm assuming without my SDK edge in LC, I'd get smoked.)
I have to vote for Muppet. Sorry, Fortress! Team loyalty, you know. I have to try to only give medals to my teammates.
See you there!

:cheerleader:
Ha, ha Swimmy. You VILL be giving me a medal since I am of the female persuasion unless possibly that other teammate of yours shows up!
Muppet:
I think you gotta give me the extra .5 to make it a good race. I was 32.2 at Worlds. (You dropped two seconds from DCRP to Worlds?) Good god, man, I hope SwimmieAvs isn't the jealous type. You'll have a huge fan base after posting that avatar. Uh, wait, where's the chest hair? Still gone from Nats?
Might as well take on Mollie too if we're all doing the 50 back again. I think I have the start edge and she has the last 30 meters edge. What'd she go last year at this meet?
