This guys seems to have been directly on top of his best friend for over 3 minutes in this one spot. Better take a DNA swab from the guy's wife...
:applaud:
Allen would swim away from the boat using his trusty Butterfrog stroke while musing on various psychiatric defenses in case Columbo is on the job...
:lmao:
I am posting this here as it happened in Puerto Rico.As I noted our internet service is intermittent so I have been watching more TV.I was watching a mystery in which the murderer hit his brother in the head on their sailboat,threw him overboard and then swam 1 mile to shore so that it looked like his brother was alone on the boat and hit by the boom and knocked overboard.One of the investigators figured it out from several clues,but the main one was he was a triathlete and the ONLY one she knew who could swim 1 mile to shore.I realized practically all my friends would have been suspects as we all could make that swim.
After a triathlete friend told me about the swimming start at the Kona World Championships (2400 thrashing piranhas in a frenzy of swimming over one another), it occurred to me that this would be a great way to get away with murder.
Get your triathlete friend (you know, the one who has been cheating with your triathlete wife) to start right next to you in the thick of the pack. Swim on his heels for the first 400 yards or so, right into the churning maelstrom of competitive humanity. Then simply hold him underneathe you till he drowns, then swim on.
No one could possibly tell what happened, or that you were the miscreant.
Unless...the cops were able to analyze GPS data from your race chips.
Hmmm.

He had motivation, didn't he? He had to beat his fiancé's time.
True Story: My first ever 200 back was at 2004 DCRP Meet where I went out fast and then some f-ing girl in the lane next to me caught and beat me on the last 50. The next year, after we finally met in March and started dating, we realized MOLLIE was "that f-ing girl," and I proposed a bet: 200 back at the same meet - loser takes winner out to dinner. It was a win-win: I was guaranteed a second date with this awesome girl. Well that bet race was the last time I beat her.
Until last week :)

Plus, I'd say our second date went pretty well. :smooch:
Meet was awesome. USMS certainly put on a great organizational showcase.
Terrapin Masters swimmers did very well. 3 National Champions, almost every swim was in the top 5 or 6.
Potomac Valley's Reston Masters got 5th in the Club Division - awesome!
Wookiee was fun to hang out with - and his Wookette is super nice and very pretty.
Lots of good times at, in and away from the pool.

Who was it said that trash-talking was a bad thing? :)
