  • My last two zone meets I had to swim in the lane next to a 23 year old woman who went somewhere in the vicinity of a 2:15 for a 200 breaststroke. I (at 46) can manage somewhere around a 2:40. Do I like watching her kick my ass? Not really, but I can't let that affect my race. Hmmm... Maybe I have a future as a motivational swimmer. People could pay me to swim in their meets, give me seed times to match theirs so we swim in adjoining lanes, then they can handily beat me. (These days I'd be happy with a 2:40 200 free.) :D Skip
