Beat Watch 2009!

I know I can't be the only person who is not at Nationals who is nevertheless keeping track of how many people in my age group are beating my best times of the season. I am happy to report in this inaugural edition of Beat Watch 2009, that in the 400 IM, two guys have beaten my time-- 1 Gilchrist, Donald 55 NCMS 4:55.00 4:41.09 29.32 1:01.98 (32.66) 1:39.57 (37.59) 2:16.63 (37.06) 2:56.44 (39.81) 3:36.93 (40.49) 4:09.45 (32.52) 4:41.09 (31.64) 2 Clemmons, Jim 59 MAM 4:44.50 4:43.38 29.59 1:02.58 (32.99) 1:41.09 (38.51) 2:18.06 (36.97) 2:58.68 (40.62) 3:40.31 (41.63) 4:12.70 (32.39) 4:43.38 (30.68) The good news: both these fellows had ALREADY beaten me with swims earlier in the season, so nobody new at Nationals has thus far dislodged my precarious hold on a possible top 10 in this event... I invite anyone to post their own "Beat Watch" results as they filter in...

    Sorry to jump in here, and if my question is going to mess up this thread, just ignore me. But I need to do a little learnin' here. I don't know how to read the times that you folks are posting. If someone would please take the time to breakdown one of the swimmers times I would sure appreciate it. Maybe Don Gilchrist's time in the initial post for the 400 IM since there seems to be quite a bit to it. Thanks a lot, Scott 1 Gilchrist, Donald55 NCMS 4:55.00 SEED TIME 4:41.09 ACTUAL TIME 29.32 1:01.98 (32.66) 1:39.57 (37.59) 2:16.63 (37.06) 2:56.44 (39.81) 3:36.93 (40.49) 4:09.45 (32.52) 4:41.09 (31.64) The time is give cumulative by 50 yard "splits" the individual split is shown in parentheses. E.G. The first 50 yards he swam in 29.3 secs, the second was in (32.66) secs totally 1:01.98
