And the sizzlin' swim hunk of the day is ...

BRETT HAWKE could be considered the fastest man in Australia, holding the 50m free record @:22.07 (smokin'!) He represented Oz in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games.

hi team,

I posted our week 2 results in the team leader's thread. For some reason the spread sheet updates didn't take so they're cut/pasted but then you have to know who's listed in what order...So I figured I would just post an update the old fashioned way for you all

If any of this is incorrect please PM me afterdouble checking  your logs.  Chrissie, do you want us to readjust your goal since you were sick week 1?  Pat, not sure if we can make that offer since you have the side challenge with Cat--I know it's capped at the 40K mark though

Chrissie, I'm just glad you're feeling better, and out and about having a wonderful life!!!

I have no doubt you'll dig and reach your goal, especially after that stellar finish you pulled off in the Tour de France Challenge. In any case, the swimming will allow you to let go a bit and pig out just a teench over the holidays

No kidding - the swimming is gonna get me HOT for my NYE party with Matt We're not going "together", though we will both be there and I thoroughly intend on getting a kiss (even a small one) at midnight from him, even if we have to go out of sight of others, so as not to divulge our dating status.

Bring mistletoe.

And speaking of getting HOT ... here's your Monday Man Meat Twofer, straight outta Canada:

DUSTIN HERSEE (left) was a Canadian champion backstroker (yeaaaah!) and represented Canuckland in the 2000 Olympics.

MIKE MINTENKO (right) represented Canada in both 2000 and 2004 Olympics in butterfly, and has won numerous medals at the World Championships and other international competitions.

Holy Mother of God....

I'm glad you appreciate them.

I popped out 2200 long course meters today. It was fun. It rained.

On similarly wet note ...

For nearly a decade, JANI SIEVINEN of Finland was virtually unbeatable in individual medley ... his world record in the 200 I.M. stood from 1994 until a young upstart named Michael Phelps broke it in 2003.

He says, Happy Holidays.

So that's Pat's new nickname.

LMAO - does Pat HAVE a nick name yet? 

I guess now it's "inspiration."

Hmm if he is inspiration... I wonder what he is inspiring me to do... oh Pa-at!

I need to know about your inspirational powers... 

Actually, I think you just wanted to put something in purple with glitter up. Great job swimming!!!
