My first race (for all intended puposes) last month I did the 1000 free first thing and then got asked to do a relay and when I went to do the event I wanted to do my best, the 50 free I was exhausted. I don't know yet whether I am a sprinter or long distance. I have a relatively fast free and I have decent endurance for my age (52 female). I like the *** stroke but confused...old stlye verses new style so it is a bit ify. Havn't done much back because of rotar cuff problem,but is better. I can do all the strokes though. The 50 free is toward the end of the race and I just have to do something else? What should I do? The first race is the 500 free. There is no 1000.
Any suggestion would be helpful. It's the Devil Splash in Durham.

I think I am in for a big surprise when I get to a meet where there more women in my age group. It is pretty easy to get a blue ribbon when you are the only one swimming it in your category...
Well, keep in mind that Geek is in the 100 plus category. So, everytime he finishes, people are impressed that someone with that much skinfold, old age and no hair can swim a 25 in under 15 minutes.
