What...
...are you throwing down??
No, no, just looking for your help in bragging about my teammates. (Alas, all my glory comes from them.)
Anyway, Matt, when you are in town, come drop in. If you were coming in October, you could have raced, but oh well. Stud can stand in.
That's what drop-ins always say. Course it's tough on your ego to have that many girls making you look slow ... Right, Stud?

I don't need any help to look slow :p

I don't mind losing to a girl...fast is fast. ;)
Our visit will be from November 23rd through November 29th, and then on to DC for a few days. Surely somewhere in there we can arrange a workout (race :) ).
I try but I just cannot create the same times at practice.
Unless you have a block you won't be able to but you should be able to get close (2-3% off). As Ande said, it's about swimming fast. And as Rich said, it's going fast when you're supposed to go fast. At the end of practice, right before warmdown, do a 25 free as fast as possible. Just give it everything you've got left. You might surprise yourself.

Totally. Fastest time ever. But it took a coach to make me to do it.
What I like about not being a swimmer from my teens (at least not someone trained to swim):
--I have nothing to compare myself to and agonize over.
--Discovery paths are different for an adult.
--I know about plateaus. I can take the long view.
--It's fun to be in a secret society of nuts, obsessives, etc.
--It makes me feel young. :agree:
