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.

  • Fort...I actually do, my lasik from 7 years ago has regressed. I'll wear a tutu at nationals next year in Atlanta if you wear a pink "I'm Jim's ***" t-shirt while leading daily yoga warm-ups. You must have me confused with someone else. I've only done yoga a couple times in my entire life. Because I am genetically superior to you, I can do a lovely split with no effort whatsoever. I am also so senile now that I simply cannot participate in an activity that involves the memorization of dozens of bizarre names, some involving dogs. I would never think of displacing you as Jim's b*tch. Use your I words. "I am Jim's ..."
