getting slower with age

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?

    Age is it important. The British Columbia Medical Card for seniors is gold colored. Chuckie went to have here eyes tested for contact lenses, of course covered by BC Med. The receptionist said to her that she had not seen a card like this before. Chuckie said all seniors in BC have a gold card. The receptionist said you don't look like a senior. It Made Chuckie's day.
