You were the first person who came to mind in awarding a prize. No you weren't, yes you were, no you weren't, yes you were. Where's Connie when you need her?

  • In one of my very first workouts with the college team we were doing breath control 50's. With my HS/club team, when we were told to breath 3's or 5's etc, the coach meant breath every 3 or 5 strokes. So we started out the first few 50's breathing 5, no problem, then 4's and 3's- I wonder why its getting easier but hey, I'm a lowly freshman and I am not going to ask. Finally we are doing 1's- I am hyperventilating, snapping my head back and forth, trying to breath every stroke, wondering what the point of all this is, when finally the coach, who has been watching me in wonder, explains that he meant breaths per 50 not breaths per stroke. Doh!
