Breaking 1:00 in the 100 free SCY for the 1st time
Former Member
I'm interested in hearing from people that did it for the 1st time in their life as a Masters swimmer. Who is the oldest out there to accomplish this feat?
I'm 42 and went for a best of 101.xx for the 2nd season in a row. I think I am going to do it, maybe next year. But I know I am not getting younger.:frustrated:
I would theorize that there is likely a correlation between those that need long warm-ups and their ability to achieve practice times closer to their race times. And further that these types are usually better a distance events.
Not for me. We usually do around 1200 for warm-up in practice. Yet I can't get close to my fastest times when we do an "all out" swim for time off the blocks. I'm one that does much better at a meet. So I warm up long but can't get my meet times in practice.
Taruky, just got for it. Do a meet! I think you'll find that you really enjoy competing.
