    Mike Ross didn't mention that he had over 3 seconds to watch me come in after finishing his own 100 fly! There are some amazing Masters swimmers out there. Some are inspirational simply by the way they swim and some are so interesting and fun that you just feel glad to be alive sitting with them at the pool deck. This is a great sport for us...somehow, aging up feels like "getting younger"! Thanks for all the generous comments from all of you. I would note that Rich may have suspected I would get his 55-59 fly mark because he already wiped it out when he "aged up" to 60 and got faster! Let's all have great swims at Stanford! p.s. I think Mike may have been referring to my inflated head size after the weekend, not wing span. Things are getting back to normal now...whatever that is.
