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.
Not sure which "Paul" you keep referring to on your posts but TJ....if you think I'm Mr. Negative your (of White Buffalo, or Mr. Postive) you are wrong. I have no problems with people knowing who I am...it makes it much more interesting at meets when I meet people for the first time, dodging stuff being thrown at me is part of my "elite" training.
I actually only used your name once and it was in reference to the comment you made about being a Libertarian! I was only yanking your chain.
