Why does it appear many masters swimmers are taking USMS so seriously?
What's the difference between the typical "selfish train all day", "it's all about me" triathlete and a masters swimmer who seriously trains as hard as they can.... particularly to focus on setting masters records?
Seems like there is a growing parallel between triathletes and many masters swimmers these days.
Isn't it just "masters swimming" for health and fun in the end?
Does a masters record really mean that much?
Is this a good thing? ..... or a turn off for those who look on with amusement.
Mr. Negative is a wing-nut, deep fried on mcstupidity. I wouldn't want to be in any athletic organization that didn't have a goodly number of extremists. Who wants to hang out with a bunch of noodlers? I think USMS needs even more crazies. Most of the hard core athletes I know are only hard core in their training but just like the rest of us away from the gym/pool.
As long as we aren't naming names, let's not name a certain "team" cobbled together from the four points of the US solely for the purpose of breaking a record, and the 6 months of endless crowing about that beforehand and now the 12 months of endless crowing about that afterwards. I saw a record breaking relay assembled in 10 minutes at a meet from a single team without any such pre or post swim self-accolades.
I'm pretty sure we will have to hear about that legendary team assembled for longer than we will have to suffer from Pablo's endless love for all things Flintwood Mic.
