Fort I share your pain. I thought the 40-44 was tough but 45-49 is tougher. Since last year I was 11th in the 1500 I thought for sure this year taking almost 2 minutes off I would finally make it but no #16 this year. Maybe 5 years from now I might finally make it.
I hope I continue to get faster as I get older. Not sure what's up with my age group...women's 30-34! I am currently SECOND in the 200 free with a time that would barely have made it in 40-44 and 45-49 and not at all in 25-29. Everyone always told me in triathlon and swimming that once you turn 30 it gets so much harder to place, but now I'm thinking they meant 40! YIKES!
Way to go Fort and GMUP for #1 in your relay! Awesome!
