It looks like I'm not the only one finding it hard to my swims in. Chris (Cordova61) and Tanya (StandwithFist) suggested a swim challenge.

 Anyone up for it?

What is a swim challenge?  It's when the guys kick the CRAP out of the women in meters swam over a period of time, and the women have to do something foolish because they lost the bet.

SOOSOOOO Up for it.

How about we set the date of July 4th for the goal.  What's a reasonable meter goal? Also, I think we need 2 teams, and some punishment for the losers.  Like something funny they have to do with their avatars or something.  What do you think?

(Paulette....we would set a goal of X amount of meters of swimming and those who reach the goal win, and those who do not are losers)

Hey!! Should it just be to see which team can swim the furthest?

Paulettejo - 2007-06-07 2:32 PM If its a gender thing...its on like donkey kong. I can swmin all day..beotch!@[/QUOTE]

....you are SO my girl!!!

So what fate should befall the boys when they lose?? I think the avatar pic has to become a speedo pic. Harry has one. We can line them up at the lake and they can trade it off one by one as we snap a pic.   I can see it now....

I am not wearing Harry's speedo!

Not that I would have to worry about it anyway.  I just want to clarify that now.

I'm man enough to wear a speedo, but I don't share banana swings with other dudes.  I can supply my own  thankyouverymuch!

Start buying your speedo's ladies!!

You guys down in the valley seem to be a pretty tight group but can I join the swim challenge on the girls side? I promise I won't drag you down!

My (Olympic) training plan calls for less swimming than I'm used to from before I started tri training this spring. I feel like I could up it a bit easily and still have enough energy for the rest of my training.

(Don't look at my log, I just started entering stuff today. I used to swim 3x3000/week and could do it again.)

Let me in if you can deal with a slightly confused newbie. (I don't know how a challenge works...)

Absolutely!!!  We were one girl short.....so that would be perfect!!!  we'll talk more about it tonight at the swim, and Jen and Josh are in Mexico right now, but that is one person from each team not swimming this week, so it will work out perfectly.

Woowee! I'm getting all psyched now! Maybe I should cut my bike ride short this afternoon so I can swim more again tomorrow

Let me know how this works, what I need to do.

We swim because we are too sexy for a sport that requires clothes.  ~Author Unknown

Pretty much sums up the guys' side.

I second Tom's sentiment. I leave these forums for a minute, and all hell breaks loose.

Can we make it retroactive by 2 days? I already had my long swim this week.

How about June4-July4?

I'll let you guys hammer out the details tonight - - I feel pretty confident, especially now that Robin has left.

 Also - Sally flew across the Atlantic - no counting those miles.

EVen though I can't swim today, I'm  sittting here in my speedo, cap, and goggles just to psyche myself up! Now where did I put that pull bouy???

 

(With my next post, I become EXTREME VETERAN).
