The Fastest Age

Originally posted by Ion Beza This: which was posted earlier. I think that consistency is not your forte. LOL, now you've taken up copycating. Gess my pointing out your inconsistencies myst have gotten to you, cause now you think that pointing out mine is some sort of a big deal. Let me whisper something to you: "Who cares" I don't swim for you or to prove anything, I swim for myself. I'm still eventually leave you behind, but You'll never get to race me. One day the results will get posted, and you'll have to pick your chin off the floor. No fuss, no grandstanding, no duels or big faceoffs. It's just not gonna happen on your terms, so put a plug it it and deal wioth it... In a dignified manner. That would, for a change, show some positive character traits on your part. You're about due, cause you haven't showed us many.

Originally posted by Ion Beza I am near the top, Bertone. Just consider all the USMS, or if you wish all the men 40 to 44 in USMS. See? Top. How can you be near the top when you don't even make the NQT's in your age group????

Another inconsistency Connie: Originally posted by Conniekat8 ... Let me whisper something to you: "Who cares" ... When your approach to this discussion is: "Who cares" then why do you care to be in the discussion? You post here without a purpose.

Wow, Deja Vu! Originally posted by Ion Beza ...being in the bottom 10% in the 40 to 44 age group at the USMS Nationals qualifies as "near the top" in all USMS, competing and non competing. Seriously, that would be such a good argument if only you had posted something even remotely close to an NQT prior to or at the meet. Otherwise, it's just another meet, albeit a big one. Didn't you hash this out in a thread a couple of years back? Nobody bought into the argument back then either... Put up at least one NQT, just once, and all your critics are silenced.

That's right, so now what are you gonna do about it toughski guy? Type up another 300 frustrated posts bellyaching about it?

In an age group, NQT is the tenth time plus 10%. In most age groups more than 50% of swimmers (and in some like men 40 to 44 more than 80% of swimmers) -who go and who don't go at the Nationals but belong to USMS- are left behind.

Originally posted by Ion Beza NQT is tenth time plus 10%; more than 50% of swimmers (sometimes more than 80% of swimmers) -who go and who don't go at the Nationals- are left behind. You're going to Nationals, but you can't even make the NQT's of the organization that you claim is lazy and worthless, nand beneath you? Guess that's why you wanna go race with fat and out of shape beginner girls like me. Guess you need that to feel superior. Racing against underdogs, and berating thingsd and people to make yourself feel better. Man, deep down iside you must be very insecure, to have built such shaky farce around yourself. The trouble with it, is you constantly need to find new sources on the outside, to beat up on, to fill that big hole you have inside. Cause when it comes from the outside, the satisfaction doesn't last very long, does it? Very sad.
