2004 goals

Originally posted by ande well how did it go tell us your time and splits did you keep good form the whole way? ande Oh sure, just ruin the whole effect ;) I haven't got my card with splits on it yet, the time was 3:40.something. :rolleyes: My goal for today was just to finish with no major crash and burn. I have never swum more than 100m of continuous fly before. If it had been videotaped I doubt anyone would have used it as an example of outstanding form, but I was able to keep my hips up, my breathing early and my arm recovery above water the whole way. I plead guilty to having taken an extra breath during the last three turns and breathing on the first stroke after the last couple turns. I can still remember being ecstatic about swimming a whole length of (what I then thought was decent) fly, a year and a half ago, so today was the realization of a big goal for me. Now I can work on endurance, better turns, and breaking my nasty addiction to oxygen :D
