I am sure I am losing seconds in my push off and glide b/c of conditioning.

If you can focus on this as you practice, it will become second nature by the time you dive into the meet. The old saying is you will gravitate in a meet to what you do in practice, especially once you start to tire. Keep at it. Three weeks should give you plenty of time. Hehehe yeah the tiring out part is where it gets tough. I&#39;ve been a little congested this past week too, which hasn&#39;t helped. Tonight might be a bit better.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/56425?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 08 Jan 2007 08:20:12 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:aa66c0d9-13e5-4b37-a1ed-8889a7f5ac84Former MemberYou could swim fly or back instead. :thhbbb: Michael Phelps breathes every stroke on fly as you know. ;) I&#39;m saving fly for the colonies, along with my shave, and fake tan... :rofl:<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/56349?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 08 Jan 2007 08:12:49 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2ac4c07e-c09c-4b32-a430-8fcb8610aad1Former MemberHopefully,it is just the remnants of your cold. Keep trying on every turn to make it perfect. View every turn in workout as a chance to practice perfection,that way on that last 50 when your lungs are burning on the pullouts your body will only know how to do it right. Will do Allen.
