The discussion about the 200 free led me to post something I've been pondering of late.
(1) How many of you do not breathe on the first stroke out of the turn? And for those who don't, how long can you hold that? SC 100? 200? 1500? Indefinitely?
(2) How many dolphin kicks are you doing off the wall? Does that number increase, decrease, or stay the same as distance and speed change or as the race progresses?
Thanks!
It's a race dependent question again based on distance for me:
50: 3 dolfins and 3-4 strokes out of turn before 1st breathe
100: 3 dolfins and 2 stokes out
200: only dolfin the last 2-3 turns and breath first stoke up
- As Michael said......training for this every repeat is what helps establish the rythym........fun to do at altitude (not)!
