I hope that you do not mind me starting a thread on my first post, but I saw this and wondered what swimmers would think about it. I swim, but not competitively.
Anyway, here is the question posted on LetsRun:
"Phelps is a phenomenal athlete.
How many of you runners who ran competitively in college think you could beat him in a foot race?
Any distance from 100 meters to the marathon, your choice."
You can see people's answers on the thread here, but I am interested in hearing what you think as well. This is an interesting question.
Thanks.
Think about track stars getting in the pool. I'm pretty darn confident I could beat Usain Bolt in a swimming race of any stroke or distance.
This reminds me of playing water polo against the wrestling team in high school every Xmas break. Most of them were in great wrasslin' shape, but the swimmers always put a stomp on 'em in water polo.
