My first race in 10 yrs
Today, Nov 3, was my first race with a masters team. It was also my first
race in 10 years. I swam 2 events. 1) 50m Free, this is the only event I have raced, which was 10 years ago. The last time I did it my time was about 45 seconds. Today, I had a time of 43:50 Seconds. I am happy with the fact that I did better than before. As long as my next meet, i get faster, I am happy. 2) 100m IM. I have never raced it before. I have never raced Fly before. My time was 2:02:32. I am happy that I finished. I will be posting both events on my facebook page. I am the only Micheal Artindale there. If you take a look, let me know what you think. Micheal |

You entered, you showed up, you didn't get DQ'ed on anything - that's all good, and it puts you ahead of most people who don't take the time to show up and compete. -S- http://www.kbnj.com |

A lot of people don't join a masters team to compete. Why are they to be considered behind? |
