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.

I am swimming both the 500 free and 200 back at the Atlanta meet but I certainly won't be near 5 minutes in the 500! I assure you it is probably equally painful for me though :) Good luck to you, Wookie.
Thanks Jacob. I don't know where the idea of going under 5 started. That's not my goal. The goal is just to race the event, get a time and move on. Speaking of which...I gotta find a counter for the race...GEEZ.
