Hi all
We're about to use Omega blocks for the first time at our short course nationals in the UK. I don't currently use a track start but it would seem like I'd be looking a gift horse in the mouth not to use them..
However, I won't have the chance to practice in advance (apart from warm up).
Any tips?
A couple of pointers: to restate what Glenn said re the position of the rear leg, have your foot high enough on the fin that your shin is approx. horizontal and your toes are pointed straight down. Feet are no wider than your hips. Others may disagree, but I think your stronger leg should be in front. No upward movement off the blocks, straight out.
I love these blocks. Good luck.
