Grudge Races, Part 2

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.)

  • She would do a blazing 75 yards or so (throwing everyone else's pace into ruins), loudly get a cramp and then dive into refreshments and goodies before everyone else. Sounds like a plan! :banana: I've always thought 75s were the perfect distance anyway. I'm only getting in the open water if I can wear zoomers like my idol Islandsox or use my beloved MF. :thhbbb: It was great to see you though Swimmy! Instead of handing out medals and ribbons you could always get in and swim a distance free event! I'll share my Rock Star or Red Bull with you, if Julie doesn't gulp it all down first. Here are a few photos from the meet, thanks to the wonderful Terrapin photographer. (But none of Jeff?!) www.flickr.com/.../
