About Me: I'm 44, and live and work outside Portland, OR. Train on my own, and occasionally compete for Tualatin Hills Barracudas in local meets. I am a sprint breastroker through and through, though I can bluff my way through a 200 *** and some sprint freestyle (if my shoulders hold up).
I swam for a small team in Santa Cruz, CA through high school, and then walked-on at Cal in 1982. Barely missed NCAA cuts as a frehsman, took 1984 off to train for the Olympics in Holland, and made NCAA's as a junior and senior.
Swam for Holland in 1983, 1984 and 1985, and made the US Goodwill Games team in 1986 (though Holland didn't let me swim).
I took a 21 year break, and started swimming again in spring 2007. At the 2008 LCM Nationals I surprised myself with two good swims. I know I can swim (much) faster, and this blog will follow my quest to do so(!).
And where would that be? I don't see a blog section when I look at the forums.
There's a link at the top now, right between "Register" and "FAQ/Forum Rules".
