I am now swimming with a new team. I think everyone of them is insanely fast. By insanely fast I mean they are either Olympians (true story), former DI NCAA finalist, World Record holders, etc. Not sure how or why they let me in ... perhaps as their entertainment. This was the main set this morning, it is SCY but still ...
4 X (3 x 100 1 @ 1:30, 1 @ 1:10, 1 @ 1:30, 200 free)
Round 1 200 Fr @ 2:30
Round 2 200 Fr @ 2:20
Round 3 200 Fr @ 2:10
Round 4 200 Fr @ 2:00
Being nowhere near fast enough to do almost any part of this set AND being a "drop dead" sprinter AND having to get out to get to work on time I missed all of it sans the first 3 100s which were more than enough.
I believe at least a couple made the entire set ... I told a teammate I would have needed fins, paddles and prayer to come close ...

Hey, Flyqueen. I feel (i.e., felt) your pain. I tried out a Masters team in my area for a week a couple of months ago, and they totally kicked my non-elite @$$ in pretty much the same way.
I would love to swim with them on a regular basis, but I know I may never swim as fast as them (I'm 55 and have only been back in the water for a year after a 38 year absence). Part of me says "so what" swim with them anyway, but the other part isn't so sure. I felt like I was in their way the entire time, which wasn't fun for me (or them probably). :badday:
So, are you planning on sticking it out for the long term?
