Provincial swimming championships are on for all us old farts this weekend. No time for this blogging nonsense.

I'm trying to make the leap from diehard sprinter to middle distance man. As one gets older, the middle distances get shorter - 200 metres qualifies as a middle distance event. I'm racing the 100 I.M., 200 I.M., 200 free, 50 free and a few assorted relays. One really has to let go of what you were capable of as a teenager. Those days are gone. I'm willing to settle for beating my best adult times at this meet.

I'll have to remember to get to bed at a decent hour.
