This just in. Our sister Zip (Beth) Robinson from Texas has just been part of two national swim relay team records for age group 55 - 60 AND she is still competing today!!! The national 200-yard freestyle relay record was 2:02:97. Zip and her relay team won the race in record time of 1:57.53! The national 200-yard medley record was 2:19.50. Zip and her relay team smashed the record with a time of 2:13 .28!!!
The race is the 2009 USMS National Short Course Championship in Fresno, CA. Video and results can be viewed at flowswim.org .
Way to go, Zip! Fantastic effort and results!! You'll be out of the water at Cohasset before I'm half way through the swim. In fact, I'd say there won't be many bikes gone when you reach T-1.
Good luck in the remaining events today!
Tom

Zip, That is so great! I'm so impressed with you and your team, too. You must be exhausted from swimming all these events. We're all so proud of you! Love, Kathy
Way to go Zipper!
You make me wish I was doing this Tri as part of a relay team with you as the swimmer... You are an inspiration for sure! Will you sign my Speedo cap? Hugs, Julia
Well, actually-- the newest National record for Women 55+ was made last month by St. Louis at 1:57.05. Thus we had to beat that one, which we did with 1:54.53! This was a 3 second improvement over our Zone time 2 months ago. Thanks you all!
Julia--I wouldn't mind relaying this a bit! It would save my bike a trip!
Thanks you all for the bravos! Zip
