The 500...what I am thinkin

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.
