2011 Look Back ++ 2012: Look Ahead

2011 Look Back ++ 2012: Look Ahead Now is the perfect time to look back and look ahead 2011: Look Back What did you accomplish in 2011? Figured out I was more of a distance freestyler than a backstroker haha. Finished second in the league in the 200 freestyle :D What were some of your best swims? In Meets Apr 12, 2011 broke 1 minute for the first time in the 100 free Apr 15, 2011 best time in the 100 back 1:10.28 May 14, 2011 got my best time for the 200 free, jumped from 2:15.56 in prelims to 2:12.17 in finals to finish second in the league! In Practice The Stanford set every week during the high school season XD I don't know if you guys know what that is but it was pretty hard! What were your goals? Just to improve.. in the 2010 season we finished second in the league and I only put up 6th and 10th place in the league meet. I wanted to finish first as a team in the 2011 season. How'd your results compare with your goals I did improve! Finished 2nd and 5th in the league ^.^ What did you learn in 2011? If you kick fast and pull fast, you go fast. 2012: Look Ahead What would you like to accomplish in 2011? 2011 is my last year in high school swimming. Of course I want to move from my number 5 spot in the league to number one :D What are your goals? 200 Free - 1:55.45, would be a new school record 500 free - Around 5:30, good enough to win the league championship 100 Free - Under 55 seconds, good enough for the 4x100 relay 50 Free - Under 25.5 seconds, good enough for the 5x50 relay What are your plans? Focus more on less drag rather than what makes me faster. More technique work with sculling. How are you going to train? I will now train with addition to underwater video. It will help me see my flaws and drag. Improve my cadence, and stamina so I can actually help my team in the 4x50 relay after the 500. What events are you going to race? All freestyle up to 500 yards. What meets do you plan to go to? Well no big meets like you guys since I'm only in highschool XD. But my team is a 4A team and we will go up against 5A teams on duels (and win). And hopefully I will swim an individual event at state instead of just relays :D What would you like to learn in 2012? Proper freestyle technique, improve in cadence, improve in kick, improve in stamina, improvement in breathing less and needing less breathes, and improvement in being less nervous and having fun :banana: What else should you ask and answer? All I need is workouts, if you can give me em I'll do em :)
