We talk a lot about how the person you are racing is yourself and that is the most important measure and that you can only control what you do,not what the competition does.At the same time we have medals and AAs and records and TT etc.So which is more important to you? I was musing on this for myself after the SPMA meet.I went my best time in the 100M BR in 5 yr,but was beaten by Jim Clemmons.In the 50 BR I won,but was .3 sec slower than last yr.That got me wondering about goals.So,where do you stand?
I would much rather get a Masters-PB than win, but I wouldn't mind getting a win with a bad time.
I guess it really depends on the meet and how everyone else is swimming.
if I have a tough line up. let's say the 100fly 2 events after the 50br I would rather have a high placing than a PB since I know i will not be 100% for the 100fly.
