2005 Long Course Masters National Championships

thank you his results were Event 13 Men 60-64 100 LC Meter Freestyle 60-64 WORLD: W 1:00.11 8/11/1998 JEFF FARRELL, USA 60-64 NATL: N 1:00.11 8/15/1998 JEFF FARRELL 1 Abrahams, Richard T 60 CMS 58.61W 26.90 58.61 (31.71) if he'd broken the 100 record by as much as his new 50 record he would have been a second or so faster. if you study his splits you'll see he faded pretty significantly on the 2nd 50. 26.90 31.71; 31.71 - 26.90 = 4.81 I believe Rich would greatly benefit by keeping the first and second 50 with in 2 - 3 seconds of each other. If he were my swimmer I'd ask him to go out easier on the first 50, keep it long smooth and relaxed, save his legs, then concentrate on building the 2nd 50. I wouldn't want him to go all out till the last 15 or 20 meters Perhaps split it something like 27.9 29.9 I'm convinced what ever time he'd give up on the first 50 he'd more than gain on the second. he should have an impressive 50 fly Ande Originally posted by mattson Ande nails it on the head. Bring this up the next time your swimmers question your coaching judgement. 1 Abrahams, Richard T 60 CMS 58.61W 60-64 WORLD: W 1:00.11 8/11/1998 JEFF FARRELL, USA
