Masters Swimmers Acting Like Triathletes

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.

  • Hey, well at least I'm not over there on the mascot thread threatening others with my Golden Bears! Gotta' give you props for your sense of humor... I am an egotistical elitist, I only have a sense of humor when it comes to mocking swimmers from Cal, USC & Stanford as well as Lawyers, Doctors who are better at body surfing than swimmers, yoga practitioners who hold plank longer than I and/or can do the splits while wearing pink, Triathletes with ironman tattoo's that can't swim a 100 under 3:00 but have $7000 bikes as well as lesser swimmers, and Jim. gbrain has made the list as well...
