I compete in endurance riding. I just finished my tenth year riding my horse Viva O Fear. He completed at least one fifty mile ride a year over the ten year period (1,500 miles in competition) He is now a Decade Horse. The award recognizes longevity in working with one horse and comitment to the sport. I just got my Decade Team jacket in the mail. I think USMS could do a similar idea. All Decade Swim Team after getting ten years of top ten times. Years don't have to be consecutive. Just ten years of top ten times. Award would reward consistency of swimming at a high level.:)
Just checked my records, I am the first inductee to Decade Swim Team! Top Ten times in 1983,1984,1986,1987,1988,1989,1992,1993,1994,1997. So glad I made it! Taking a decade break from swimming makes getting back into the top 10 difficult! Post your years if you qualify! Congratulation to all who have made the Decade team!:)
