The Fastest Age

Aquageek, Humility is probably the better answer, I'm sure Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods have knocked a couple of hole in ones in their lifetime but you don't hear about them talking about it every day. Ion, being a little hypocritical - you feel you are unjustly compared to other USMS swimmers because you did not swim as a child where they have (comparing apples to oranges), yet you will compare yourself to a female swimmer and brag about how you can beat them (whatever lifts your ego). You also belittle swimmers because you can beat them in a 1000 free, but they can beat you in say 100 free or breastroke - that's like saying Alberto Salazar is a better runner than Carl Lewis because Alberto can(did) go a sub 2:12 marathon (what about Lewis's gold medals and records - fact is you can't really compare the two - other than maybe how they dominated their perspective races during their careers). All I can say is you go Connie - good luck train hard and train smart !
