Over on the fish thread there is a virtual swim meet going on...all honor system to push youself towards self improvement. This thing is in an early stage of formulation, but for this month, guys are posting times in 50 free, 50 fly, 50 back, 50 breast, 100IM (or 200IM if you are in LCM).
I learned the three strokes outside of free in the last 2 years, and totally suck at back and breast. I can't really fathom how fish athletes go fast in these strokes, but I'm giving it a go.
JasonfromHalifax and Monty are going to be picking the monthly events for us to try. I think it was decided that there won't be any event in this virtual meet that you in a triathlon (so no 800m, which is like a sprint tri, and no 1500m that you do in an olympic). Other than honor system and not using bouys/fins/paddles/floatypants, I don't think there any FINA type rules in place, so it's about self improvement

Feel free to come over to the monthly fish thread and participate. I'm going to use this to improve the events that I suck at. Eventually I'll get back into diving in and flip turns when my back/disc are better (but maybe by then I am biking again)!
