2015 Masters Motivational Times

Allen, you will always be ahead of the game! :) I feel like the game is catching up.

I haven't been in a meet since 1981 and I only started swimming again back in August. I guess I need to enter a meet to see where I am. That will be taken care of in January. On most of my sets during workouts, I fall anywhere from an BB to C, which is a whole lot better back in August. My wife is from Greensboro, North Carolina and that motivates me, and now I have this chart that you produced to give me an idea where I am. I will have a better idea in January.

By the way, I can't tell you how much I love these charts. I converted the SCY one to an excel spreadsheet back this Spring and I've been slowly marking off the ones I hit, making my way back up the chart after too many years not swimming. Green ones I've made, yellow I feel I'm really, really close. Finally got to mark off that 100 IM today. That one has been eluding me for weeks at a 1:31-1:33. Finally. :) 10049

By the way, I can't tell you how much I love these charts. I converted the SCY one to an excel spreadsheet ... Thanks! I'm glad you like them! I'll revise the script, beginning next year, to output .csv in addition to .pdf, so you & others will have something spreadsheet-like to start with.

These are great, thanks. Have you ever compared the slope of the X times over time? I assume that the slope will decrease in older age groups over the years as the number of competing swimmers increases?

As I suspected --- I'm behind the curve and it IS getting steeper as I approach 71 !!!

I haven't done that particular calculation, but, for various reasons, I'd be surprised if that were the case. The program is a little less than 800 lines of javascript, and should run on pretty much any internet-connected Windows PC sold this century. If anyone wants to play with it, I'm happy to share. :)

Hey there Swimosaur, I am interested in playing with the Javascript, is that offer still on the table? I'd too like to take a peek at it!

Hey there Swimosaur, I am interested in playing with the Javascript, is that offer still on the table? Sure, no problem. Send an email to "MyUSMSForumHandle@gmail.com", and I'll send the script. Note, it will only run on Windows.
