I am 30 and this past recently became ymca national champion in 3 events. Here is my problem. The times I posted were far from blazing. I just got back into swimming last fall and it just turned out that the competition for my age group in this particular year was not strong. I know that this will not happen again. Should I just enjoy the victory as it is? I feel guilty saying I am a national champ knowing older age groups were tougher competition? How would you feel? Thanks
Agree with the rest, enjoy it while you can.
When I first started masters swimming, I swam my 1st meet at 29 years old (a LCM meet), and was shocked that not only did I win some events, but set/broke some team records.
Unfortunately, I've come back to reality now that I'm in the 35-39 age group.
