I know this is not the national forum spacebar, I want to thank everyone that work & timed & ran the 4 day meet. If you have never been to a National meet, you are missing something from your swimming life!
I swam 6 individual events & 2 relays that taught me how to accept my age & speed both going up!
The comradeship of my fellow swimmers raised my expectations of my dropping self esteem to help me.
Many of the swimmers i did not know but, they cheered me on anyhow!
Georgia Tech 2010 (as a USMS newbie!)
Mesa 2011
Auburn, AL (LC) 2011
Greensboro, NC 2012
Mission Viejo, CA (LC) 2013
Maryland (LC) 2014 (following FINA World Championships in Montreal)
Greensboro, NC 2016
I haven't made NQT's since prior to my hip surgery in 2014, so it's hard for me to justify spending a lot of $ to swim just three events.
This year, I am going to the National Senior Games in Albuquerque, instead. I will be able to swim six individual events and two relays (if we can find a male backstroker around our age to join us). It will be an entirely new experience for me with all of the festivities they have planned, and we will be able to see how Albuquerque and Santa Fe have changed since last visiting there in the late 1980's.
