Some crazy times in my age group 40-44.:rolleyes::rolleyes::bolt: Yup, that 2:08 winner beats my best-ever 200 backstroke time from when I was 21...

Well - at least I would make the list in the 200 fly -just!

yeah..thats really crazy. My best time this season is 2:24 and I would not make the top 10..sick.. Sometimes, if you have some luck you can make the podium and sometimes you have no chance, no matter what... I guess Masters are not fair sometimes, if you just count the medal and nothing else...

Looking at the calendar, it seems the goal is to keep as many people there as long as possble. For instace with BR: 100 on 8/13, 200 on 8/17, 50 on 8/18. It is similar for the other strokes, worse for the distance frestylers with the 800 on 8/12 and the 400 on 8/18. It seems like convenience was not there primary consideration, how unusual for FINA.

Like we are going to purchase more vendor stuff if we stay longer ?!

Anyone look overall about which meet had the faster time in general, USMS Nats vs Worlds. I suspect Nats, but there are always some unbelievable times at both meets. I know the Worlds 200 BR winner in my age group would have been 5th at Nats.

worse for the distance frestylers with the 800 on 8/12 and the 400 on 8/18. It seems like convenience was not there primary consideration, how unusual for FINA. Yes, that seems to be how the schedule always is: 800 and 400 on opposite ends of the week.
