At a recent 6-Tathalon, it was reported Paul Smith (AZ) could barely break a 23 for his 50 free. This great and legendary masters talent even proceeded to scratch the 50 back and ***. How can this be? John Smith

  • Troubling and disturbing to see such a rapid decline of a once great swimmer. As Sargent at Arms for a professional swimming team, his inclusion on this team is now seriously at risk. Think of the children and how they will be devastated. How can this be? I thought the optycon, creatine, time released B, yoga, stretching in the grocery store, inspiration from a beautiful wife, etc. were helping him train longer and harder ... And now he's scratching 50s?! Do you think he could make it through the 25s at the Sprint Classic or are we really down to 12.5 power sprints? And lets's forget about the 100 IM forever ... hardly breaking 1:00?! I guess it's a good thing he's sending his 150 tech suits to quilts for the homeless ... they couldn't halt or reverse this rate of decline ... ;)
