The Fastest Age

Originally posted by nyswim Hey Connie- You swim with Brian Godell-how awesome! One of my swimming heros growing up-gotta love those distance swimmers (well-most of them)! I think he still held a NAG record up until this year. Wish American dominance would return to the longer events, though I don't mind sharing with the Aussies. Europeans are another story. Yeah, I swim with Brian... Or should I say he leves me in the dust every morning ;) I have to say, he is just a super nice guy! Not a smidgeon of an attitute that you sometimes think superstars would have. Then again, everyone on my rteam is just great. They're becoming like an extended family to me... And being that I don't have any family anywhere close, that's a really good thing for me. Sometimes, when I'm due for a day off, or at the 2nd workout of the day, I still come to the pool sit and watch what he, and several other really great swimmers are doing... never hurts to learn. If I remember right, one of Brians distance records stood for about 15 years!
