He took 12 strokes during the first lap, but jumped to 17 on the second, which was partly because he didn't streamline as far after the turn as he did after the start.
In my experience I always get farther on the start (off blocks) that on my push after a turn. Even if I compare a lousy start to my very best turn. I just get way more force from a block start than I ever can from a mere push off the wall.
