I want to ask questions about the life of a Champion.
If you are a World Record Holder, a National Record Holder, a State/Provincial record holder, a Club record holder, or even if you've recently gone a personal best; I want to know how you feel about being a Champion.
Masters win, regardless of place!
See, doing your best, no matter what level you achieve is a great experience. The feeling of improvement from consistent effort is something that anyone can attain. That joy is the same when you finish a race and you know it was your best, a great lifestyle, something worth striving for.
Since I've already started a discussion with Chris Stevenson, perhaps we can continue it here.
Chris, even though you may not have smiled at first (on camera anyways) how did the next few days feel? Are these your first WR titles? Do you plan on more in the future? You're a chemistry teacher, right? Do you realize you've inspired me, and countless others?
Masters swimming is about friendship, staying healthy, and having fun
only compare your performances to yourself
make it easy to feel good and hard to feel bad
the social aspect is awesome
you get to see and support your friends in their events
The best part is the stories and beer after each day or the end of the meet
Meets are fun.
Training is too.
Ande
I know and when I can stop being the chaffeur and volunteer for the kids(really kid, cause the other is in college now), I can have more time for ME!
I did have a first in the pool last night. This first is easy for most 8 year old speedsters but for me it is hard, and I have tried and tried and never done it.
One of our coaches like those no breathe 25's, so she had put up 9 25's breathing 2,1 and 0. I said, OK on the 2, maybe on the 1, but the 0, don't think so. Well I did all three no breathes, near died, but did them! So hey, this old lady can improve.
