My first Masters meet two years ago, after 25 years away from competition. I had no idea what kind of times to enter, so for the 200 free I "conservatively" guessed a 1:53, which placed me in the fastest heat. When I finished in 2:07, the other swimmers in my heat had already hit the showers. At least my kids thought I'd done well (I think they were being kind).
