The Fastest Age

Random thoughts: Paul, do you know Kyle Quinn, from Ireland? I think that he swam at UCSB in the mid/late 80's. I asked my 10 year old cousin which matters more, talent or hard work. He said hard work. Isn't naivity beautiful. Two swimmers from my high school went under 21 in the 50 free. Neither of them worked out worth a crap. Still I find Ion's theory on VO2 to be quite compelling. It should be pointed out that good technique takes considerably more energy than bad technique. WHen I squat 250,my form is much sloppier than when I squat 200. Some people may surmise that I would do 250 eaiser if I cleaned up my technique, but I can't under that stress load. I have been thinking alot about the statement "Popov's hands exit further than where they entered (the water)." That is a good indication of superior technique. How can I capitalize on this new thought? Lezak's stroke is also questionable. Quite unbalanced. I don't know, some people just "have it."
