If winning is not in demand, then wear the warmest wet suit you can find !

I have swam in water at 59, and I did not last long, it was rough! I prefer it at 63 or more my self...

Yay! My son will be so excited--he's apparently been very vocal in school saying to friends and his teachers "my mommy was in the top ten!" So sweet. Thanks for the congratulations. What a fun day! I loved it!

No, top ten. Yours is probably in the mail! Congrats, you had a great swim in a tough age group! :)

Silly question, but do awards just go to top three? it's listed as top ten, and I was 4th so I'm hoping...

That's a pretty bold statement coming from someone with such a girly avatar. It is pretty girly, tho not so much as the Arizona State mascot.

Next time I find a typographical (or in your case, an ignorant spelling) error on your post, I will be TOO eager to correct it!!!! Thanks for correcting my mistake and NOT encouraging me on my Channel swim. Bob, I personally think you are a jerk who doesn't know how to spell. I am happy we had this opportunity to get to know one another! A bit testy are we? I would think that someone with your aspirations would be above name calling. You also should consider that while it's it is important to take one's goals seriously, if we hope to succeed one should not confuse that with taking oneself too seriously. You might find that a sense of humor could help you in the difficult challenges you have in front of you. But if you think a sense of humor will impede your efforts and personal attracts will advance them, I would happy to help you out and be the target of your virulent attacks.

I have to say that sometimes the "shoe just fits"...do "girly" tri-"Geeks" really drive monster trucks to their events while wearing heels? Paul Smith? I thought this was a open water forum.

Just to bring this full circle-what suit was he wearing(if it was a Jaked or an Arena why wasn't he faster.) This is the definition of "truly evil." -LBJ

This is the definition of "truly evil." -LBJ lol, I think it was a LZR. I wish we'd heard something from Andy ... I assume from Phil Dodson's impassioned defense on the GOAT thread, that Andy believes he swam the course correctly?

Classic! Ranks right up there with the best of Smith by Marriage's disses. Moral of the story: never tick off the webmaster! Talk about poking the tiger...! I know that at the very least I will see him in Atlanta and when I do he better run, run Forest, run!

there is one thing we can do to change for next year, train hard and then we might swim the time of our life. or we can keep mulling it over wasting energy the could be use to train harder. Guess you will find me out swimming and biking. :)

Lefty, what did Andy say when you presented your arguments to him?
