I feel a little like our old friend Ion Beza. He always complains about the age groups that he swam in and how unfair it is. Anyway, I saw the NT's for my age group and in the 100's there were 2 second drops from last year and in the 200's 4 seconds drop. Anyway, it drives home on how medicroe I am and worst in my middle age than my youth. Granted, I can swim butterfly better than last year but the best stroke breaststroke hasn't improved since last summer. Anyone else feel the same way. I know that in your middle years swimming should be more of an exercise and I don't want the shoulder operations or knee prpblems that some master swimmers had.

I have only been swimming 2 years and am dwarfed (in times) by my fellow age-group swimmers (not a stellar performance in the GRIN fall classic)...but still, I'm seriously considering competing in the nationals at Indi this year. I don't have any NQT's and probably won't have at that point since I don't compete much...yet it would be an awesome experience to compete with the "best of the best". If I get there, I plan to swim for me... and if I bomb, so what.....there'll be others just like me there, and I'll take the snubs from the elite with a grain of salt!!
Cheers!
