Bronze.

I lost to the same person I lost to every year from the time I was 12 till I was 17. He was one suburb away from me. He got the gold and went on to the olympics.

Swimming times have radically improved over the past 30 years. I had the distinction of being the first to break a minute in long course. That is nothing today.

It is amazing to watch.
