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.
...in the same way I guess that you seem to want to call me one for mocking showboats?
Nice try (to use a turn of phrase you're fond of). I said previously that I agree with you that over-inflated egos are fair game. Showboating is one thing -- no one likes a genuine ass. But this whole thread has been about something else.
BTW, I've heard you use this "begging for attention" thing before. You can't seriously think Gull is a whiner and begging for attention?!
