I like the article in swim Magazine about Rita Egan and Sylvia powell. These women are not your typical slim young swimmers that are elite swimmers but like the rest of us ordinary. Actually, given my previous background in swimming I'm also won of these average jills. As a youth I swam the 100 meter *** at 1:30 and as a 46 at 1:43.31. So, many of us do it for enjoyment and some exercise knowing that we will never be at the top of the pack. I think we should have more of these stories?. And Ion believe me you are not that bad. You did a 2:31 200 meter freestyle. I recently swam a 3:15. So don't feel bad and their is alot more competition in the men than in the women in 45 to 49. Not saying that their are not good swimmers in the women.

Within minutes after finishing a 800 meter free, I did a 2:31 for 200 meter free on July 27, 2003 in an in-season meet in a 50 meter pool in La Jolla, preparing me for the 2003 Long Course Nationals.
I didn't go to the 2003 Long Course Nationals because I was strapped for money this year, but a 2:31 for 200 meter free in a 50 meter pool in an in-season competition, for me that's a promising time before tapering:
I was averaging 30,000 yards per week over 49 weeks of training, before tapering.
Are you referring to this 2:31, Cynthia?
If yes, how did you find it?
