For all of you who know Leslie the Fortress Livingston, this should help you know her better.
For all of you who don't know Leslie the Fortress Livingston, prepare for the thrill ride get-to-know-Leslie event of the year.
A little background: Leslie is the 4th woman in history in the 45-49 year age group to beat 30 seconds in the 50 SCM butterfly.
She did this at age 47, and it is possible that she is actually the FIRST woman in history this old to break 30 at the age (assuming the previous 3 were 45 or 46.)

This small film will help you understand all that goes into becoming an extraordinary human being/swimmer. Oh, and there's a little about Leslie in this, too.
Just joking. It's all about Leslie. With some guest appearances by Paul Wolf, Julie "Mulie" Oplinger, Jeff "the Barbarian" Roddin, and Jim Thornton as "the narrator."
Please enjoy before Leslie forces Jim Matysek to take this down.
Several people did do official splits that resulted in national or world records, and I think the results label those as "time trials."
That's probably what the person who told me that saw then.
Glad we agree on one thing, Jeff. Whew. And I wasn't asking you to get involved in the process, I was asking for your opinion cuz I know you know stuff. I never promised to agree or to forego an appeal based on it. (Some people are stoic and suffer in silence; others get pissed and try to do something about it. Neither type is really wrong.) Of course, we can still continue to disagree on whether the rules need to be clarified if you want. :angel: Since very few people seem even to know the rules, including the officials, and they are rather ambiguous and open to different interpretations, it seems a rational and prudent course. Otherwise, swimmers could continue to be penalized.
