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?
when my 8 y.o. daughter joined the swim team I thought "Hey! I can do that."
Chuckle...I was wondering how many USMS swimmers started that way...
Nice job with the personal bests. Hopefully they'll keep coming. Personally -- for the rest of us, anyway! -- I think we should wipe the slate clean every time we age up, trying every year for personal bests in that age group. It gives us yet another reason to look forward to aging up, too.
