So, AlmostDrowning won the women’s race at Rockman yesterday with a 5:05 and a swim split of about 33 minutes.
It was her first Win and she looked pretty shocked after the race!
Her name, while it may once have been an accurate descriptor, is no longer appropriate.
AlmostDrowning, if you don’t come up with a new handle, we’re going to have to come up with one for you!

I was wondering when this post was going to come. Bottomfeeder suggested the name “almost floating” but I’m considering posting a race report which may explain why my new name should be something disgusting like “snot on arm.”
How about: AlmostNotWinning or DrowningInIrony
BTW, congrats…It was nice to meet you on the course…I was the one who accused you of being quiet and sneaky right before your catch for first.
Well done!

Don’t be alarmed. He’s probably not contagious.
Besides, you should actually feel honored. Bottomfeeder only gives you his patented Booger Baptism if he really, really likes you.
Congrats on your race!
I remember you. Actually that statement you made was really helpful. I thought if I could stay quiet maybe my form would hold up.
Great race dan. good meeting you and your girlfriend. Thanks for trying to help me out with my ghetto powertap :).

Mrs. BottomFeeder!
Congrats on the win. I was going to come back and congratulate you at the finish but the news crews jumped in. I mean I didn’t feel I should interrupt a star in the middle of an interview. 
I told my husband I got a marriage proposal. He seemed a little worried when he found out you lived in Florida.
Oops. In my defense I cannot resist fast womens. Carry on.
I would vote that you keep your name. Keep it humble and remember where you came from. Besides, it will fool your competitors into thinking they have nothing to worry about and then you can zoom right past!!
Since Almost Drowning had, in a previous thread, offered herself up as the prime smackdownee, I suggest: Sandbagger1. 
Congrats on a great race! Note to self: never plan to go on any training rides with Angela…
Would you like to share any secrets of your success with the humble masses?
I vote for something containing “Sandbagger”, you can’t talk about getting smacked down and then lay the smackdown. I also talked about getting smacked down, but I followed it up by actually getting smacked down.
With all the talk about everyone going 4:30 I thought everyone was going sub 5:00. Yesterday was also a PR for me. Almost 15 minutes faster than my best time which was at the Disney 70.3 which is a much easier course (at least I thought so).
I also intimidate really easily. If people wear IM stuff around me and have shaved legs, I assume they will kick my ass. If people post on slowtwitch I assume they will kick my ass.
Well, it seems that with your speed, and the whole booger thing going on, the only possible new screen name option for you is:
SnotRocket
Nicely done, congrats on the great race!!!

I figured that the Slowtwitch racks would look like a Cervelo P3C warehouse…not a one to be seen! Not even a P3SL or P3 for that matter!
Congrats!
You need not be intimidated going forward, that’s been well established.
So, on to important things, Sandbagger and SnotRocket are some good names… =)
My swimming has improved because 1) I joined a masters program and 2) before joining masters when I was swimming on my own I read every post put up by Doug Stern and really focused on implementing what he said.
Is this Tasha? Brian said you were sick. Hope you are feeling better.
