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?
It's all about the personal best, however this question has a hidden answer. Every swimmer wants to win, or at least they should. Often times we don't swim our personal best unless we have a race. So they're both very important, but in swimming you bring home times, not stories. Mine is 100 fly in under a minute, but I wouldn't have swam that if I didn't have a race
Yep, that's why I haven't answered this poll, because the answer I'd choose isn't there :applaud:
