In order to shove a sock in Geek's constantly open mouth, I am entering the 500 at St. Patty's meet in Atlanta.
As I debated about it, I keep remembering all the reason I hate this race...which are many. Besides the fact that I haven't raced this even since college(where I had too), I haven't found one good reason to swim it until now.
Geek's constant belittling of my swimming ability has convinced me to enter the 500. Do I have a goal time, nope. Do I care if I break 5 minutes again, nope. All I want to do is finish the 500, so I can tell Geek that he can no longer say anything about my lack of desire to race events over 200 meters/yards.
Now, if Geek will step to swim the 200 backstroke? He is probably more mouth than man.
In all honesty, I am glad he has egged me on, otherwise, I probably wouldn't ever swim the dang event again...so Thanks Geek.
Now, if I can remember how to swim it in the next 3 weeks.

2) Not looking to break 5 minutes....just to finish the distance.
3) I have no idea what I will go...nor do I care. I don't train for the distance...just doing this to prove to that blabber mouth that I can swim more than a 200.
LOL - of course you will finish. I'll go out on a limb and state that based on your very speedy 100 bk time.
Even better! Times take care of themselves when you have some good competition to race! Should be some pretty fast people there.
