Yet...... another comment on "elitism" in masters swimming. This ongoing battle of two imaginary groups....... the selfish former elite swimmers and the non elite counter parts.
Yes..... The Evil Smith and I have taken great pleasure throughout the last decade trying to secretly split USMS into these two groups. Our efforts to perpetuate this divide and fuel our intolerance for "learners" is now being undermined..... :-)
One Big Happy Family: Marcinkowski’s Masters
reachforthewall.com/.../
"Butcher, Zerkle and others say numbers have soared because Marcinkowski has tried to strip the elitism from masters swimming, often thought to be populated with former competitive stars who have little tolerance for learners."
Unfortunately, my legs were made for dragging. Hip fracture 5 years ago and athritis don't make for good running. Wish I could, but its not in the cards. I don't really have the time for triathlon training either, but I appreciate the suggestion.

Let me correct a few things:
A) You are 6' 3" and have sz 7 girls feet
B) Your ankles are the size of a blade of grass
C) Why limit your whining to just the hip? We all know about your allergies, nose bleeds, paranoia, hallucinations...
D) You have nothing but time because you work from home and as Tori has told us all sleep under your desk most of the day.
