Shubert digs Masters Swimming

Mark Shubert from the NY Times article on Dara: "But -let's face it- compared with the Olympics, even the Master's World Championships is a glorified losers' round, and holding a master's world record is hardly an exciting achievement. . . "

    I completely admire true masters swimmers competing at the level they do. I think it's amazing, whether they're like you or Tall Paul and setting WRs or like Stud, kicking ass personally. OK I am definitely not in the elite swimmer catergory...or kicking much ass. Chris...not sure if your a "drinking man" but love to think someday we'll sit down, have to many beers....and you'll let your "hair down" and ditch all the math-stats/PC stuff and fire away with how you really feel! You got it. Oregon? Whomever has the biggest time drop from last year LCM gets a free beer...or three... OK, now, here the field levels a bit...it's about drive (who is going to get me home), guts (who can hold 'em), and endurance (I really need to pee!) Who wants it more?? Shame I'm not in Oregon!!!
