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.
Here is an idea, swim a 500 without going to a meet! I created a postal event called the Phoenix 500 Postal where anybody can swim the 500 free, in any pool, at any time during short course yards season (now until 05/31). Nobody will call you a wuss or coward if you don't do this event but it is an easy way to swim a competition event without traveling to a competition.
So why don't we all man-up and do this event?
OK, ladies you can step-up too :)
Maybe all the testosterone on this thread can get directed in a constructive manner...:applaud:
Go to www.phoenix500postal.com and sign-up for this event. Go ahead, I double dog dare you!
Happy swimming everybody!
