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?
Thanks Kirk! My confidence level has shot up now that I got my double in today. All that's left is a single workout tomorrow morning, a long drive tomorrow night, and :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: early Sunday morning so I'll be awake enough to gridge it out with Nacho Libre.
Nacho Libre's been doing a little cross training at the end of this week. I'll leave my last 2 swimming workouts as a mystery, but I've been outside building the addition to my chicken house till 8pm each night (still going tonight, just needed a break). Plus my work at work has been fun as well, so I guess I've been adding my weight training involuntarily. :applaud:
Sometimes I wish I had a desk job...but not really...
Thanks A LOT Elaine...
:(
Sorry, James, but ya know I have a soft spot in my heart for that Smilie-lovin'-alternative-font-lovin'-nice-guy-hilarious-guy-That Guy! :bighug: :D
Thanks A LOT Elaine...
:(
Why are you upset?This is between That Guy and some Mexican Wrestler evidently.Watch out,I have swum against some very fast swimmers from Mexico.

That is very true! I'll be cheering for That Guy in this case then! :applaud:
The meet is over.The Masked Marvel didn't show up.James Adams,however was REALLY fast.
Thank you Allen! I just made it home...long drive home, but we're back to race again!
Yep, James had some good swims. I beat him in the 200 back but he won the rest. More importantly however, we're both officially stupid for entering the long-distance pentathlon in long course meters at a meet with only ~40 people in it. (And in my case, also factor in ZERO LONG COURSE TRAINING) Until the 400 IM, for which we did get decent rest, it was swim-a-200-then-warmdown-now-repeat-15-minutes-later. I did post a best time in the 200 free so I've got that going for me. :bed:

I had basically the same thing as That Guy, though I think it may have been more like 16 or 17 minutes rest(quit exaggerating...) :afraid: I also had one best time in the same event - 200 Free :banana:
