Seems inevitable, no? Even though my practice times seem to be pretty consistent with intervals I was able to hold 5 to 7 years ago (mid to early
30's), now that I am 40, my races just seem to get slower. Its an odd scenario to be in. As an age grouper and into college, the older you got, the more you trained, the faster you swam. Now, it seems, mother nature is kicking things in reverse. While I still love to train, I'm finding less incentive to compete.
Anyone else come to this conclusion?

My times at 49 are faster than they were at 46, at least for distances of 200 and up. I attribute this to good coaching and training partners. In 2004 Tom Wolf told me that he was swimming faster in his 50's than he was in his 40's. Currently that is my goal for 2008 when I age up. I'm not going down without a fight.
