Good job, Mr. Tight End!  Now, you just have to drop 2 seconds in your 50 fly!  :laugh2:  I&amp;#39;m sure you can do that once you don&amp;#39;t weigh twice as much as me.   :joker:

It was very fun to watch, except for the breaststroke portion. Perhaps exciting is a more apt description.

No, at least another 10 days in the sporty boot.  I can still swim, so I won&amp;#39;t be getting out of shape because of this.  It will be fine.

Excuse me?  As of today I am walking normally again, no limp and no pain in my foot at all.  And don&amp;#39;t pick on the tall skinny girl, next thing you know YOU&amp;#39;RE going to have whiplash from turning too quickly to see the clock at MAC only to find out you and your tendonitis got smoked by a broken foot and whiplash in the 50 back.  
 
March 15th...see you there.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Trash Talk</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/84872?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Feb 2008 06:27:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1b401f91-1cdc-46a0-86d6-fb26f4772442</guid><dc:creator>Chris Stevenson</dc:creator><description>The previous poster echoes the feeling of some this is a completely useless thread. I agree (and that&amp;#39;s what makes it fun)...perhaps matched only by publicly commenting on useless threads...so I thought I would post some ANTI-trash-talking and praise two swims of Jeff Roddin&amp;#39;s from the past weekend meet in Richmond. Since I called him that most wicked of terms (sprinter) in this thread, I figure I owe it to him.

First, our 400 IM race

Jeff: 26.90 57.36 1:32.65 2:07.43 2:44.98 3:22.09 3:53.62 4:23.47
Chris: 26.57 56.93 1:29.21 2:01.21 2:41.35 3:22.66 3:54.05 4:23.70

I&amp;#39;m told it was a fun race to watch; I&amp;#39;m glad our pain was amusing to some -- I felt the effects of this race well into the next day. Fortress, I think we can all agree that there can be no doubt that I lay claim to the crown of worst breastroker around...keep in mind that breaststroke is Jeff&amp;#39;s WORST stroke and his split on that leg was almost 7 seconds faster than mine.

Anyway, given that Jeff is such a (ahem) sprinter, I expected to be able to chase him down in the free even though I was absolutely spent, but no dice. So my hat&amp;#39;s off to him :bow: and I&amp;#39;ll never publicly call him a sprinter again.

(As an aside, I was cursing Jeff all through the subsequent 500 free, which followed this race by about 20 minutes or so. My original intent was to get a &amp;quot;fresh&amp;quot; 500 free time. And somehow Jeff&amp;#39;s entry in that event was lost in the mail...go figure...!:dunno:)(sorry, needed to inject a LITTLE trash talk...)

I did get to be a spectator for Jeff&amp;#39;s Sunday 100 IM duel with Murphy Halasz, the 25-year-old stud of the meet:

Murph: 25.16 54.37
Jeff: 25.38 54.89

Unlike myself, Murph actually has a very nice breastroke...not to mention a killer butterfly. Oh, and did I mention he is 25? So I thought this was a very impressive race for young Jeff! (Jeff, I think he knows your name by now.)&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Trash Talk</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/84906?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Feb 2008 06:02:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9e0bada4-db02-4a2b-b680-eae51a0f6bba</guid><dc:creator>The Fortress</dc:creator><description>Puh-leeze.

I have no excuse for my lousy breaststroke technique.  My knees are just dandy.  It&amp;#39;s the other joints that are more problematic.
