Re: Masters Swimming

So since I didn't swim would that put my times ~ infinite?
If so I want in!!!!
Well, I want in anyway. Beer is good.
I've slept several times since then :wine:
And to clarify, I didn't swim LCM last year, nor do I have any LCM times, so what does that mean, exactly? Time drop from estimated seed time? Do I need to bring the results from this week's LCM meet with me? I am swimming the 50 Free and Fly this Sunday. But that is after swimming the 400 Free :frustrated::frustrated:

Not that I ever have an opinion on anything...BUT...I would suggest scratching the 400 and focus on the 50's. Your not swimming the 400 at nationals, the 50's require far more practice to be at 100%.
So here's the bet...my fly vs. your free and I spot you 1.5 seconds. Loser buys one very cold, tasty and expensive beer.

I already told him that, but he doesn't listen well!
Good luck to everyone in Portland! Wish I could be there.

...you're taking this way too seriously... :)

Um, is there any other way when dealing with a wager with Mr Smith. If you don't CLEARLY nail him down, he'll wiggle out of it.

The 400 is a warmup and I hope that my inner demon gets with the program of nice and easy and slowly build by 100. Goal here is anything under 5:30 :cane:
As for the beer, you're on. That should be a close one. Since I padded my converted time by .5sec, let's make it one second. Still, if I was a betting man, I would put it on you but........
I'm up for a race. Pwolf, it looks like our 400 free times aren't too far apart.
my actual LCM times (in 110 degree heat)
200 free 2:25.15
400 free 5:20.12
100 fly 1:13.09
my converted from SCY times
100 free 1:02.03
1500 free 21:03.75
Well, the 4Free time was a complete guess as I have not yet swam any thing over 200 SCY as a master (got back in the pool 15 Sep 2007 after 21 years off). And that was once. But sure, want to go 100 Free? I spot you 1.5 seconds?

Wrong...it will mean a "tighten up" for your 50's. This ain't SCY my friend, no walls to hide on, very lonely out there 15m from the wall saying to myself "I'm a sprinter, why did I think swimming a 400 LCM would loosen me up)" :dedhorse:

You might be right, I might be crazy.
I signed up, I'm gonna do the Bataan Death march like a man. I am actually looking forward to it. There should be at least 2 hours between that and the 50 Free so I should be OK. But it comes down to not going more than about 80% effort. If I can do that, I should be fine but that's a huge-A$$ IF :roids:

You have officially "outed" yourself...you are NOT a sprinter with this kind of thinking. To refresh your memory:

Scratch the 400, get your "warm up" in warm up, lay around for those two hours like a cat...then go kill the 50's!
