  • Thanks guys. Perhaps I will place orders for my races that actually went well. I don't think I want to relive the piano dropping on me in the 2fly. BOOM! RIGHT THERE!
  • I'm not looking forward to seeing the Bataan Death march that I experienced on the last 25m of both my 100 Back and 100 Free swims. And I know the zig zag swim in my 50 Back is just gonna be sooooo special. right rope left rope right rope left rope.

And I know the zig zag swim in my 50 Back is just gonna be sooooo special. right rope left rope right rope left rope. I crashed into a laneline one time swimming 100 LCM backstroke outdoors. I realized that my racing goggles greatly limited my peripheral vision, so I couldn't see the lanelines all that well, and of course I didn't have a ceiling over me to use as a point of reference, so I got off course and crashed. At Portland I competed in larger goggles that allowed me to see the lanelines better. I could also see more of my competitors in butterfly events, etc. Now I take a close look at any pair of goggles before I buy them. Some of them seem to be designed for horses...
  • Speaking of goggles, mine have a tendency to show movement on the sides. While I was swimming my 200 ***, I thought the person in the lane next to me was right next to me when she was behind me. Turns out it was the shadow of me in my goggles. Made me go faster, though :)

    Is there a site to order the DVD? I admit that for all the times that I walked past the video info tent, I never stopped to see if there was an order form or whatever. nwgamefilms.com/video.asp It appears that the price has doubled.
  • Wow, that looks like it hurt. Oh, that's right it DID look like it hurt. Hmm, maybe I have your tribe name???? Out in 1:03.99, back in 1:12.90 ouch. :thhbbb: Bahahahahah The first 100 felt fantastic (and it being my PB too!). But the horror of coming back the last 100. :drown: OUCH is an understatement. Thank you for helping with my leg cramp (again!). :wine: You got to love Mark... I ordered the DVD of the event, just to hear his commentary! :joker::joker::joker:
