Keeping track of my training and Masters comeback after an 18-year layoff. I'll be posting daily workouts and, when time permits, I'll fill in the details of my background.
Why come back after 18 years? Who knows really. Here are a few possibilities:
1. A good way to channel my mid-life crisis energy.
2. I can swim a 50 breaststroke.
3. I can swim a 50 fly.
4. I wasn't doing anything useful at 5:00AM anyway.
5. Brown hair is over -rated.
6. Grey hair is inevitable.
7. I don't have to wear a "speedo".
8. That SDK thing looks like cheating to me.
9. Cheating should make it easier to go fast.
10. To find out how much I've lost.
Anyone else out there making a comeback?
