Anyone headed out to Lake Wingra for a swim this afternoon.  Normal meeting place and time?

I plan on being there. 

You might have hit on a marketing idea.  Wetsuit with batman markings.  They do look similar.  This would be pretty cool, even cooler if you could integrate goggles into the bat mask.  Only downside is the cape and tool belt would slow you down.

But if I had that wrist grapple shooting thing I could latch onto somebody fast and not worry about it.

You, grapple hook on Skavoovie's back? Nice. I dunno about hooking onto that GRB guy, though - you might get whiplash from going back and forth so much.

-oh, and I'll be there tonight, as usual, minus the hubby and kids. I'd like to go a little longer since I won't need to do any family time in between swimming and biking....

I'm fine swimming whatever distance, you'll just have to wait for me periodically.

Just use the grappling hooks on her.  Then she won't need to wait.

I used the grapple hook on Skavoovie and I was able to barefoot ski for a little while.  It is easier to sight standing up, better view vice the normal waterline view.

You know, we could have waterskiing shows like that.  You think he could pull all of us? 

I wonder if grapple hooks are allowed in the USAT rules?

I'm fairly sure grapple hooks aren't mentioned in the USAT rules. I think I could go with the "not mentioned must mean they're allowed" theory.... Silly boy didn't even have a wetsuit on last night and he still blew us all away.

hmmm.... I wonder if I could find aero grapple hooks.  This could be a whole race strategy for me.
