So I made this bet with my 9yo daughter. The bet was that if she swam 100 free (this past Sunday) within 30 seconds of what I swim it in (on the 28th), I would have to give her $20 (10 to her, 10 to her savings account). She is very competitive with me (we race down the slides at the swim center :duel:) and she loves to beat me.
So I was figuring on her going about 1:35-1:38, which means I would have to go about 1:05, really didn't that would be a problem. So what does she do? She nails her start and does THREE flips turns (she does them well in practice, she just isn't confident in them yet) and throws down a 1:29.37. I was thrilled, cause she looked great. Then I did the math :doh:, I gotta go sub 1:00. Maybe in a couple of months, sure, don't think I'm gonna get it in this meet. Ugh, nothing like a trash talking 9yo :rofl:.
Me and my big mouth, maybe I should have held out for 20 seconds??????

Paul,
If you NT'ed the 100FR (I didn't), we will most likely be in the same heat. Please be so kind after your swim to grab me lunch before I finish mine - at 1:05 you should have plenty of time to run to the 7-11, visit the restroom and shower before I finish. :lmao:
A corned beef on rye - light mustard - would be great, thanks. :wave:
Barb
Do you like it toasted or not? :p
I'm just as likely to finish in 1:05 as I am to blow out some important muscle group and sink to the bottom :drown:
