Masters' swimmers have been proving it for years and Dara proved it with an exclamation point in Beijing that you can go faster at 40-something than you did at 20-something. As someone 15 days older than Dara, what I wonder is this: At what age will the aging process take over and, despite whatever training you do (& without resorting to drug enhancements), you will slow down?
Do you try to do the checkoff with meet swims only? One of my minor SCY season goals this year is to swim every event in at least one meet. I didn't know I could get a cool t-shirt to go with it!
Go to USMS home page, Dec 10 entry. 2009 check off challenge entry form plus $20 gets you the t-shirt! It's all on-your-honor (I was just kidding about using splits & double counting), so you can do swims in meets or in practice.
