Hi guys,
just wont to say that I am getting closer and closer to my dream to swim under 1:00 in 100m backstroke (scm) for the first time in my life. :). maybe you remember a thread where I wrote that I can't imagine it to do it...
but I getting stronger in my belife that I can do it and its getting more realistic.
Just this weekend I swam 1:00,82 and improved my time in my age group 35-39 for almost 0.4s. Best time so far was 1:01,16 from last year in november.
I was starting with 30 of age in Masters-competitions and here is how I have improved over 8 years as a Masterswimmer in 100m backstroke (personalbest is 1:00,0 with 21 of age)
30: 1:03,4
31: 1:03,1
32: 1:02,7
33: 1:03,0
34: ---
35: 1:02,8
36: 1:02,5
37: 1:01,1
38: 1:00,8
...
I still believe my potential is to split under 30,0 the 2nd half someday.

Have you thought about or worked on negative splitting your 100 sets in practice? Or doing accelerated 100's where you pick up speed each 25 until you are flat out sprinting the finish?
