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.)
Did you guys swim at the Mission meet? What was the result?
Muppet:
I see you seeded yourself at 33.9. :rofl: How did we end up not in the same heat?!
I just want to whine about being in lane 1 for backstroke. :violin: I hate outside lanes. Plus, I'm going to be drown by Jeff Roddin and Clay Britt. Although now that Clay is swimming meets again, I guess Ande has a ready-made grudge race.
