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:

    "warm-up was effective in 79% of the criterions examined". That seems to mean that 21% are wasting their time. That is more evidence to support my point than I would have even expected, although I would be more interested in swimming data. Even I do warm up and I would tend do a little more for a sprint, at least a couple of short sprints so my body isn't going from rest to all-out. But if I thought there was any chance that swimming 2000 yards of warm-up was going to help me drop 2 seconds in the 100 free believe me I would be all over it. But I accept the fact that I am an idiot and completely wrong. Just throwing things out there and having fun so don't get too upset about it.
