I'm sure each of us has one race (or maybe more) that has some special :groovy: :applaud: :wave: :banana: :laugh2:
meaning to us and it could be for any one of many reasons. (I'm not talking about embarrassing moments; this has been addressed elsewhere.)
I'm talking about swims/races, some moments of which live with incredible clarity and details in our memories and minds (in colour -or B&W, with sounds and possibly smells -chlorine, of course.)
I won't tell about mine (I have three about which I'm very proud) for a while. Not until regulars have told their stories and some would-be-posters (a.k.a. lurkers) have also shared.
Setting a world record in the 100 SCM IM in 2004. The old record was held by Attila Czene, the 1996 200 IM OLympic champion. To better a time set by an Olympian was a great moment for me. I remember every second of that race.
The record has since been broken, but the memory will never go away.
