I wanted to join the women's forum, which you need 50 posts for. At that point I'd been here a few months, but had mostly lurked and posted in Foo (which doesn't count towards post count). RUOkie told me to post in here.

Otherwise, as far as total post count is concerned, I really don't give a ****.

Post count is the only thing that substantiates your statements. It's all about e-rep.

Look at the black marks on the b-pillar, and rear fender. We had Darrell Waltrip's crew pit our car that year, and that is where the tire landed after it came off.

that's the point. this is a harmless distraction if you tend to be in front of a computer but if what you do means running around, this place is a handicap.

In that case I'm down to do the century. I'm not sure how this affects my finals schedule though. I'll have to look that up. Does this mean I'm going to meet VV? Maybe coasting will htfu and fly in for the adventure.

I just got back from my swim. I did 50yd 1 arm drills. How did you do that with a swim buoy? I needed the kick to breathe. I am starting to think I need a swim coach. My form sucks.

Although I did not vomit today so I got that going for me.

that makes me feel better. I was able to do 5x50 with each arm and then started to drown cause I could not make the turn. Then I just swam for another 20 min and then kicked for 400. I tried the drillls with the buoy and could not turn to breathe, so I just kicked like Quel recommended. My arms hurt.
