Okay, My turn to brag a little bit, if I may... ;)
I had a great meet yesterday.
Shaved 5 seconds off my 200 free. Iafter I got done almost fainting from the effort, I almost fainted again from surprize when I saw my time. It's the time I didn't think I could do (yet).
Then I dropped 2 secoinds in my 100 free, and a second in my 50 free.
Finally for 100 free I dropped into teens. I'm around 1:18-ish now.
Then my coach says, today at practice... Yeah, you're doing really well, if you stick with it for couple of years, you'll turn into a major contender.
:eek: i'll stick with it allright, but a major contender... ugh! We'll see.
Did I mention I have the best coach? ;)

I think collage is different from masters. I feel their is so much more sportsmenship and a lot less competivness( I don't know if thats a word) in masters. I never swam in college but it seems that masters would be so much more fun and less likely to get burnt out.
I'd agree with that - well I assume that's true, there's no masters team here :( , so I swim the local USS team. But burn out happens in most things people do for a long time.
My point was the hardest thing about swimming is staying mentally tough and stick with it :cool:
