How many former Olympians have you beaten in a race? Can you name them all? I can name 10 maybe more if I think a little more..

In 2003, several of us in the men's 35-39 age group beat 1984 1500 meter Olympic gold medalist Mike O'Brien in the One Hour Swim. His distance was a very respectable 5,010 yards, but was only good for 14th place.
That year I did 5,075 yards (9th place). The men's 35-39 winner, Mike Shaffer of Ventura County Masters, did an incredible 5,905 yards - one of the all-time best in any age group.
