How many yards a practice do you swim?

You did the same thing explaining the 2:29.85 that you did this past year which is about 10 seconds faster than the 2:39.60 you did at the last LC Nationals that you swam the event in 2002, in Cleveland. The fact that you went almost 10 seconds faster this year and not 8 seconds slower is something you should be proud of. ... Exactly about being proud of going 10 seconds faster and not harping on the 8 seconds slower. When I went 2:39 in Cleveland, I didn't accept it, I have a lifetime best of 2:27.36, and moved to another program. It gave me 2:09.11, lifetime best in yards, and 2:29.85, fifth lifetime best. In 1994 I had a 2:09.54 in yards and 2:27.67, both in USMS, at Federal Way, and this year with a new best of 2:09.11 I was expecting better than 1994' 2:27.67, but I got 2:47. The 2:47 I cannot rationalize beyond work overtime and eating wrong, so I stay in the same program that gave me 2:09.11 and 2:29.85. Originally posted by Frank Thompson ... Again, the reason I made the statement was that you attacked Bill S with an outrageous statement "You can't do much about it, its in the genetics" which was uncalled for and he did not derserve that. That statement is full of sentiment and lacks supporting data. I made the same outrageous statement about your time in the nationals which did not lack data but was still uncalled for. When you make statements such as these, you are fair game for everyone here. See what I quoted BillS on, above. He is fair game for me to call on.
