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?
OK, well I guess I got this past weekend out of the way. 9 swims, 5 best masters times, the other 4 were pretty close.
I'm really tired, but must continue on. 7 more days till the battle ensues!
I think I'm going to nix my split request that I was thinking about in the 100 of the 200 Back. Instead I might do one for the 100 of the 200 *** (and maybe even the 50 as well). :) It's a lot easier for me to surpass that LMSC record over the backstroke one, though I have to have a near perfect first 100 to do it.
