    In high school, I was a sprinter, but not a terrific one. The best times for the 100 free were around 1:10 or 1:12. Not that special. And, for the 50 free, I was lucky to crack 28 or 29 seconds. You maniac fast people out there...and you butterfliers! Mad skills! So, now I'm almost 30--and figured, distance would make sense. Hopefully this knee will be ready to run a 5-10K by next spring, and I could do some tri's. It would be awesome to pass most people during the swim. It seems the longer I go, the faster I am. Are there many triathletes here? Have a great day! Jerrycat
