Phil, Yup, you've confirmed my deep, dark speculation. There is a cadre of super-fast swimmers right about your age that "louse up" the age group and NQT's for all the rest of us. All this time I hear people popping off about "aging up and kicking butt" and it seems to make sense in the abstract, but I always seem to do better on ages numbered 4 or 9 rather than 0 or 5. Now I have proof as to the cause! I have a new training slogan: Cut through the jive In 2005! The bad part is that since we changed the rules on calculating NQT's, these same jamokes are still screwing-up the cut times I have to make, even though THEY are no longer in my age group. Just like the evil New York Yankees, they manage to mess with one set of people in the preseason, another group in the regular season, and a third in the playoffs. Matt
