Me too. My bday falls right before USMS nationals in Atlanta...damn you GA masters for not putting the meet the first week of may!!!!!!! :)
John, a 2:02 made the top ten in the 200 back in the 35-39 age group. With the tech suits going bye bye, I think that you have this in the bag based on your Rowdy Gaines Meet times.
If the current list holds - I'll have my first ever Top 10. 10th in 50 *** 50-54.
I suck at LCM breaststroke (my LCM times are never close to converted SCY times) but others must suck even more!
Well, I checked out the times in my age group and I have set a goal for myself. I'm keeping it under my hat for now...and I'm not that close, but I think it's do-able. Whether I make it or not, I've got a very identifiable target to shoot for.
Let the training begin!
Good luck!
As things stand now I've got the #1 time in the 800 free in 35-39 and I'm 26 seconds faster than the second place swimmer. I swam three events long course this summer and (so far) made TT in all three. Pretty cool! :banana:
Too bad I age up next year...
Woo hoo!!
I can relate to the aging up. I do as well :badday:
Our Beautiful Stroke Guru has posted a 100 LCM time this year that is .07 faster than he swam at LC Nats in Knoxville, 1975!! (Alas, his 200 time was .2 slower this year.) This is surely the last time our times were comparable!
What a beast!!
Great job, Allen!
Thanks.I was really happy with my BRs,but I surprised myself with a 3rd in the 200 fly also.
yeah this is the first season I was actually able to submit times to the top 10 and now I age up in january : ( good thing I have a USA taper meet in december so i can get a few more fast times to submit to the 18-24 group.
Sorry Fort, we have you, who deserves a top ten time by swimming fast not on some lists, and then we have no-talent ***hat's, swimming slow and gaming the system to make the top 10 in the Men's 30-34 1500M. Sad.
A ranking in the 1500 is a big deal! :banana: To me, just swimming it is huge!
Thanks everyone.
You seem to have even earned respect all the way out here Q!
At workout tonight when I was talking about the kicking we were going to be doing, one swimmer told us, "That Q Guy from USMS says we don't have to kick anything over a 25!"
Congrats to you from the Night Nadadores!!
