In case some of you have not picked up on the subtle "jabs" from the Evil-Goodsmith....I thought you should all be filled in on a littel wager taking place at this years nationals.
Two of the more "decorated" alums of the swimming world (John Smith & Bobby Patten are going head to head in every freestyle event; 50, 100, 200, 500 & the 1000 in the 40-44 age group, with some serious bragging rights on the line (plus beer).
I would like to see some odds placed and wagers taken as we all watch in this spectacle of raw speed (Smith) vs. Distance elite (Patten) take place.
The true meeting should fall on the 500 where I predict rabbitt Smith will attempt to blow out the first 200 (I'm guessing around 1:49) and hang on for dear life as the boa constrictor (Patten) begins to tighten the noose on th lactic acid filled legs of Evil-Goodsmith.
So who wins te 500? I'm guessing it will take a new national record (4:43 I think?)?
Who wins the overall bet?
Let the games begin!
can't wait to see how things play out,
smith is coming down from altitude, which will only help,
smith has much more speed
patten's been doing the distance thing for years
smith could go out too hard and fall apart
beer is on the line
ande
