Are Triathletes worth the dues they pay toward Masters Swimming?
I say we force all Triathletes to spend one day a week in the sprint lane, one day a week doing stroke (i.e. IM) work, and then make them focus on their starts and turns.
This invasion needs to be controlled.... :-)

Tom: :doh: That was not my main point, it was just an example of the fact that more kids swim than run or do tris. I have a swimmer kid and a runner/tri kid. Believe me, at least where I live, there are vastly more age group swimmers. There are just not that many running clubs for kids, although I believe that more kids are doing road races these days. The competition is simply stiffer in swimming.
As for Atlanta ... are you kidding? That's a big age group swimming venue. Seems like they're a lot of masters swimmers there too ...
Poolraat: Alan Webb is just a local hero. It's fun for the kids here to meet him at events or on the local trails. I guess we'll see how he does in the semi-finals tonight. But he was pretty speedy the last time he ran!
