Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.
I typically sandbag with an NT to protest the discrimination against fly-backers that exists. Never any rest between our events, and it sucks.
I don't mind swimming with tall fast men in LCM. Sometimes not in SCM either. But this is my heat of the 100 back this weekend, and I am less than thrilled with it:
1 Stevenson, Chris M45 VMST 59.08
2 Britt, Clay M48 ANCM 1:02.00
3 Elshafei, Emad M43 TERR 1:04.84
4 Edson, Edward M28 TERR 1:07.00
5 Elliott, John M39 GERM 1:08.00
6 Jones, Andrew M45 NBAC 1:08.00
7 Kress, Jay M46 FXCM 1:13.00
8 Livingston, Leslie W48 GMUP 1:14.00
Also, of note, there is major female sandabagging going on as the female WR holder in your age group, Ahelee, is seeded at 1:17 when she swam a 1:09 at this meet last year ... So I get drowned by men while she has calm water for another record attempt. Hmm..... I seeded myself at the time I swam at this meet last year.
WAIT A MINUTE... lets' get the names correct here!
I don't even know what meet this is - or where its' located... must be some OTHER 50-54 backstroker you are dissing here Fort!
Ha Ha!
"Ahelee" has not sandbagged yet... I enter my best time. At times in the change of season - courses, the times may not have yet caught up and converted, but I do always enter my best.
