I tried doing a search in the forums on this and couldn't find anything. I am curious to know how many yards people in Masters are swimming a practice. I swim on average 3000-4000 yards a practice, 3 times a week.

if there was a auto race in the rain, on slippery roads, all cars get the same conditions, the faster one still wins.
I take what you are saying is you race on the slippery roads, but others (without the long lists of excuses) race on dry ones, so your times, though slower, are actually are more impressive/better and everyone else, to really compete with you, must swim exponentially faster.
hey, what about weight penalties. i'm probably significantly larger than most of my competitors at 240lbs. do i still get at break? or maybe I should put everyone on the same conditions and make them wear lead vests so that we all compete on even terms? its not fair for someone at 180 lbs to race against me.
