I propose USMS adopt handicap measurements to more equitably compare performances in Masters Swimming.
1. Married ...... deduct one tenth per 50
2. Nagging spouse.... deduct two tenths per 50
3. Each child under the age of 10..... deduct one tenth per 50
4. Work more than 40 hours a week..... deduct one tenth per 50
5. House and car payment stress.... deduct on tenth per vehicle two tenths per house.
6. Travel more than 1 day a week.... one tenth per 50
Note: item 6 can help negate item 2.
In addition.... those of us with more manageable lifestyles need to adjust their times as well.
7. Training more than 4,000 a workout ...... add one tenth per 50
8. Training more than 4 days a week....... add one tenth per 50
9. Born independently wealthy..... add 3 tenths per 50

I know this will come as a shock but I just went downstairs and looked at the nutrition label on my box of twinkies. They only have 4.5 grams of fat per delicious, moist and tasty serving.
I suspect the deep frying part might push that 4.5g up just a bit, like maybe to 20 or 30g.
Also, the USMS convention is being held in NC this week, further proof this is the swimming hub of the nation.
