I can't believe it's not butter!

I have recently come to the unfortunate realisation that I'm no longer a little boy. Now, that may sound rather strange, but this has a point...

I'd like to think that my swimming started off slow but managed to get to an acceptable point a few years ago. However, during that time I had already started to cut back on the amount of sessions I was doing, and instead I just kept "winging it". The thing is, it worked. Up until last year I was doing personal best times, but now I'm finding that I just can't do it.

Today I swam at the Albury Open Skins Meet, and whilst I wasn't feeling that crash hot, I was still quite a way off my times. I find this slightly depressing, as I only once managed to do my 57 for 100 free, and I never got my 50 free down to a 25.

I'm really hoping that I'll have a few good swims at the next few meets, but unfortunately that seems unlikely. I've already started getting beaten by the next generation of lean swimming guns from our club, a situation definately not helped by my lack of training.

The problem is that I don't train the way I used to. When I actually go to training, I can't push myself during sets, and my training is always shorter due to work hours. My greatest fear is that I've already hit my peak, and am now on the fast descent to swimming like one of the old fella's.

Ha ha, welcome to my world. I get beaten my 12 year olds at all strokes except freestyle, and I fear that soon my 29/30s for 50 free will be stolen away from me. Getting old sucks.
