LOL, I've had the opposite reaction, I've told my husband that just watching those kids get on those blocks brings back that old fluttery knot in my stomach from competing. I loved practice and still love to swim, but don't miss the pressure of meets.
Last night's race (well technically this morning because of the time difference) was amazing. I am happy that USA won. While it was only by 0.08 seconds, when you look at the top 5 teams, all were below the previous world record mark. Incredible!! That is one for the history books!

I was thinking the same thing. It has been years since I was in good shape and after 6 months hard work I am in the best shape ever and my swim times are below where they were in college when I practiced with a local masters team. My coach has suggested in recent weeks I should consider competing in masters competitions, and seeing the races yesterday sure has me thinking about it more and more today. I would have my work cut out for me, but it would be nice to have there be a point to all this besides just being in shape.
