short course/long course

Why is it I can do 3600 yards comfortably, but it is a supreme struggle to manage 2500 meters? I can't believe the walls make THAT much difference. I know that part of it is psychological, but my leg cramps last night were not in my head! Since switching over this week, I only did 1600m Mon, 1800m Tu, 2100m Thurs and 2500m this morning. I imagine part of my exhaustion is that I tapered for Ynats, but I always feel this way about long course.

  • most demanding pool event: 200 meter LC butterfly Kirk, For what it's worth, I totally agree. '01 LC at Federal Way - NO GUTTERS! FLAT WALLS! I know that is how it's (supposed to be) done but, what a shock. Couldn't get my 3 or 4 extra breaths in. :eek: How were your early mornings? Your results looked good.
