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.
maybe her kids suck. i've met lots of kids and there aren't many i would miss a bad workout in an over-chlorinated Y pool with a 2 1/2 foot deep shallow end, 90 degree water, and a lane full of overweight noodlers for. (but thats just me)
Laura's post reminded me of the woman who publicly stated that she loved her husband more than her 3 kids. She was pilloried. Then she wrote a book about that fact and the flaws of a solely kid-centric lifestyle and made a boatload.
Nice post, Bob.
