Ok, so the more they email me, the more I get nervous about the water temp. Last year it was 69 which stung to get in, but it made for a nice swimming temp. By the end, though, my fingers and toes felt a little numb, but that could have been tired (??).
But this year, it could be up to 10 degrees colder?! What to do when the coolest water I can find here in Cincinnati is 80?
I assure you aquageek: if I ever beat a a college kid who is considerably faster than me in the 400IM while I do freestyle feel free to tell me I didn't do the whole race.
I don't get all bent out of shape and obsess for weeks about someone else's swim. Can't you just let it go?
And the moral of the story is - never swim faster than others think you should swim.
Now that's funny! and uncannily accurate.
Maybe these boneheads will realize their stupidity...
No, I don't think so...
Personally, I figure that if no one cared enough about the outcome of Big Shoulders to protest at the time, I am in no position to get worked up about it now.
You are incorrect. The discrepancy about the buoy was brought up immediately to the race director. He failed to act (as some have suggested, perhaps because he felt like there was nothing he could do).
Besides, someone going 56:21 in the race is possible. I mean there has got to be 100-200 swimmers in the world who could do it. Of course Andy Seibt is no where close to being one of the top 100 OW swimmers in the world, but drawing that conclusion takes a little bit of research. Honestly it took a few days for the pure ridiculousness of this to set in.
Question: will Andy compete in the event next year?

Yeah you read that right. Andy couldn't beat this guy in a heads up race if it was freestyle vs IM (This summer: 4:32 in 400M IM, I doubt Andy can do it under 4:40* freestyle).
The moral of the story here is if you get credit for doing something impossible admit the error.

see....told you so!
I've never seen someone quote themselves in a reply before. If this catches on this thread will never die.
I got blocked for a week in 2002 or 2003. It was because of Ion! Memories....
I, too, had an Ion induced suspension. Fortunately now that I've beaten the moderator like a rented mule in the water he is afraid of me and won't mess with beast again!
