https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/6082/who-s-your-nemesisSo, who&#39;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.

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&#39;t seem to pass the 60s. I&#39;m gaining ground though! :)<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/88279?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:53:21 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:fb784acd-3b3e-4ef2-9f7d-fc7b207bdf75Former MemberMyself....what can I say.....&quot;I&#39;m my worst enemy&quot;?:rolleyes:<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/88246?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Feb 2008 13:58:01 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:f0025af0-8af0-498f-83d3-55a61cf85fb1Former MemberI have the same trouble I am searching for a new one a few age groups lower then mine.
