Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.
Here's a summary of the past 5 years of discussion on this topic:
1 - most only want to do free sets
2 - most want to pull every set
3 - most have more gizmos and gear than an Army batallion
4 - all they talk about is how much they ran or bike the day before and why they can't swim good today
5 - they admire noodlers for their lack of physical exertion
6 - every single one will come to at least one workout a year and try out the wetsuit
7 - they wear wetsuits
8 - they wear snorkeling goggles
9 - they say strange things like "I'm not kicking to save my legs."
That should sum it up. Let me know if I've left anything off.
I do have to laugh because I've heard and seen those very same things. I wonder what they think about swimmers. What they think is not going to keep me from "swimming my own stroke," but it would be intesting to know how they view us USMS folks.
