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.
Fort you know exactly what I'm getting at as I've described it clearly multiple times...but it is fun to see who gets worked up over what...and especially how the topic(s) gets twisted as each person weighs in/internalizes as if it is they are the ones that were personally called out.
Purists aren't morally superior?
Nice try. But my policy is not to "internalize" forum posts. Just wondering why the dig on public blogs generally. Which blogs do you consider over the top? If it's Jimby's, his is pure entertainment. Nothing wrong with that.
The word "twisting" has unnecessarily negative connotations. Everyone gives it their own spin or slants the topic in a way they deem "amusing" or useful, even you! For instance, I've caught you beginning a response by "twisting" and re-stating someone's position so that it barely resembles what they actually said!
Shocking, I know, but, no, purists aren't morally superior. Nor are dog owners. :P
