Re: [wildwater] masters athletes - Lance is getting us some attention

Yep, Lance is amazing. I have to say I am watching the tour too.

It is pretty amazing what happens if you stick with it!!!!!

While I'm certainly not in the same league as those folks, I did feel pretty good today when I got an EKG (as part of my pre-physical surgury to have the rotator cuff surgery I have scheduled).

The nurse had already raised her eyebrows when she figured out that I had a resting pulse in the 40's... but when she hooked me up to the EKG she yelled out to the other nurse.. "you have to see this".  The two ga -ga'd over my EKG for several minutes.  When they quized me on how can anyone who is 52 have a resting pulse of 46 and the EKG of a 25 year old athelete I told them... YEARS OF TRAINING.  They printed out 3 copies... one for my file, one for me... and one for them to show the rest of the staff.

It works. Stick with it.

Speaking of Master's atheletes.... Mr Murphy is still getting FASTER.

I generally refuse to grow up - adulthood is not all that great but, you can't cheat nature (unless you are Sly Stallone with a couple hundred shots of HGH!) and time keeps on ticking.

That said, people like Lance and Dara Torres are bringing quite a bit of attention to 30+ year old athletes. If our nationals is any indication, things just start to get better at 30 :-)
