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?

Well, after reading everyone's comments, I am now elderly. I am way off of my times from when I was in my 20s, 30s, 40s. So I have changed gears to do distance, really distance, because it's my last saving grace and so much ezier on my body (so far, I think). I will not stop swimming, period. It just needs to be mega-miles.
I bet you could still give most of us a run for our money on a 50 Donna...just have to put a few monkey la-las on the line...
