So, who's your nemesis or who are you a nemesis to?
I have enjoyed a friendly rivalry in my age group (55-59) with George Bowers over the years. We compete in the 100, 200 and 500 free. I am usually able to just best him at those distances. At one meet several years ago George's wife attended and when she met me she said "Oh, you are that God-damned Glenn Gruber". We had a good laugh over that. Well, about a year ago or so, we were attending our regional meet and George and his wife were there. My wife was there as well and I pointed out George and his wife to her. She went over to where they were sitting and introduced herself by saying "Hi, I'm that God-damned Glenn Gruber's wife". We chuckle at that to this day!
Did I mention that I beat George in the 500 that day?:wine:

George, I don't really have a nemesis perse but I do select one person who is reasonably faster than me, in my age group each year to go after their times. They never know about it but it is my personal goal.
I sort of have the same strategy, but since I am slow, I started with trying to beat all the 90 year olds during a meet and working my way down the ages.
I have finally been able to beat all of the people in their 70s, but I can't seem to pass the 60s. I'm gaining ground though! :)
