My journey to the World Champs/ World Masters Fukuoka has come to an end today.
World Aquatics Masters Championships Kyushu 2023 was like the time machine.
Swam 3 events in my vintage tracksuits from the first world champs held in Fukuoka 2001.
Competing with Blake from Stanford for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century. We swam at the USC - Stanford dual meet, PAC-12 (PAC-10 back in our time), and NCAAs. He won the 200 and I won the 50 this time. Our friendly rematch, we called it a draw🤝
Feeling exhausted since I didn’t loosen down after my race. Good exhaustion though.
Thank you swimmers for coming to Fukuoka. Each of you are a hero who made the meet special. Stay healthy and fit till we meet again☺️
