June Gridge Thread

T minus 11 days until I race the long distance pentathlon (200 LCM back, 200 LCM free, 200 LCM ***, 200 LCM fly, and 400 LCM IM) against an unknown challenger. I have it on good authority that this mystery swimmer will be wearing a Mexican wrestling mask and will not remove it between events. There are also unsubstantiated rumors that this person uses performance enhancing carbohydrates and caffeine, and may have even considered sandbagging once before chickening out. I'm told that our gridge hinges upon our total pentathlon time, but the stakes of this gridge have not yet been revealed even to me. Who is this enigmatic maverick, and why has he never been photographed with Gotham's caped crusader Bat Guy?

  • Ande, I think this type of gridge is ok. If we were being serious then yeah, that might be unhealthy. I'll at least have each of my alter-egos (Steve, Bob, Ed, Phil, & Harry) swimming a different race for me, so that way each effort can be at 100% with no negative impact from the previous race/races. I will just be kickin' it watching the results pour in. I second that this type of gridge is okay...provided that I'm on the winning end of the deal. :) just kidding...but I'm still planning on winning the gridge. No point in planning on losing something! :bolt:
