The way I look at it,every time I age up I get to set PB times in that age group.Then I have 5 yrs to try to break them.
The way I look at it (at 65)
a) I'll never improve on my times when I was 20
b) Since I only re-started swimming (i.e., swimming more or less a few times a week and not necessarily "training" and quit heavy smoking) some six years and 4strokes ---no, I'm not changing my name---ago, this is a new life and a new me.
c) Given that every year we lose strength, muscle mass, speed, etc....., I believe that if I can equal last year's times this year, I've improved by the amount of yearly deterioration.
d) And if I don't equal last year's times but achieve a start, swim and finish, then I'm still alive (and faster than I'd be any number of feet under).
