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.
So, I've been gone for a couple of months and am trying to get caught up. It's sort of like a soap opera that way! To recap:
TheGoodSmith has been reincarnated (with a bionic shoulder that probably wasn't available to those swimmers back in the dark ages before goggles and swim suits) as Mr. Negative.
Open water swimmers aren't real swimmers.
Chris Stevenson isn't a big boy.
People who maintain blogs and post pictures of themselves are self absorbed and take themselves too seriously.
Former elite swimmers are amused with old, fat people trying to swim fast.
Jim...well, Jim is still Jim:-).
And we've all been trolled!
See what happens when you stay away. You miss all this fun stuff.
