Stroke count?

For reference you guys that are doing 8-12 what are your times in the 50 and 100y free? Last night I was able to consistently get in the the 16-17 range without not stretching as much and lightly kicking. Honestly think the jammers helped a ton. As an 8-stoke-per-length person... once upon a time (20 years ago in college), I was a 1:38 200 freestyler, and could manage a 22 for the 50, and I think I hit 46.high for the 100. I haven't raced those in a long time. Working out SCY these days, I can usually manage 1:15 as a base, and occasionally 1:10 base for a challenge set that's not too long. And yes, 8 stokes is counting each arm as one. For me, I have a pretty good pull-out, and will usually take the first stroke a couple yards past the flags. My 50-meter LCM stroke count is around 22. So that's 8 strokes for the first 25 yards, and 14 for the last 30 yards. If my stroke rate is consistent, that suggests I'm getting 7.9 yards off the wall. -Rick
