Did my first swim meet in 25 years today. A little surprised that more masters swimmers and even tri peeps don't sign up for the Grand Canyon State games. For the past couple of years, the schedule never worked out for me to do it, but it did this year. Long course (50meter) pool...it's like open water swimming but without the blender of arms and legs. I did the 50, 100, & 200 backstroke and the 200, 400 freestyle. I don't know which was more impressive - the 61yr old that nearly lapped me on the 400 or the 77yr old guy doing the 100 fly and 200 IM. Check it out next year

I first decided I was going to "do" a triathlon in 1994. It wasn't until 13 years later, in 2007 that I actually did. Why did it take me 13 years to get to the starting line? The swim!

Stroke after stroke, my pace was pulling me out into the middle of the lake quickly. The cover seemed to be getting thicker. But still in the distance, the little boathouse was my lighthouse.

Many people in the triathlon world think they need to just emulate Ian Thorpe to have a faster time, or have a similar stroke to Michael Phelps to cruise through the swim. Unfortunately...
