I have to brag about my teammate. We just had our big Association Championships this weekend. We have this team member who started swimming in a coached practice May 2002. His first meet of his life was December 2002 (so no age group swimming). We even had to teach him how to dive off the block. Well, this weekend, he went 11:29.81 for his 1000 free. Not only did he do so well, but we were also swimming at around 3600 feet (we train around 200 feet) so the "sucking wind" played a role. This guy is awesome! He is really a sprinter but yet can do it all and all so well.:D . Congratulations K!

There was another swimmer at the same meet, who at age 49 swam in her very first Masters meet after losing 133 lbs.!
She said "If you would've told me several years ago that I would be swimming in a swim meet, I would have said - Yah right! What planet are you from?"
Her teammates are all so proud of her!!
It was a great meet for "late bloomers"
:)
Oh "timer of my lane for the 200 free" (hee-hee) mind if I ask who this great weight loss person was? We had several on our team (5 or 6) that swam their first masters meet this weekend. They all did a great job and should be proud.
