Hi usms swim friends,
I'm working on a new swim faster faster article and I wanted to gather a little data first
here's my questions:
In your 2 or 3 best events
what are your lifetime best times?
how old were you when you swam them?
what year was that?
what are your best times in those events for each masters age group you've been in?
here's an example of what I'm looking for
Ande Rasmussen
50 scy free
1985 22 20.4
(25 - 29) 1991 28 20.5
(30 - 34) 1995 33 20.9
(35 - 39) can't find a time
(40 - 44) 2004 40 22.44
thanks in advance to for participating in this
I look forward to reading your replies
Ande
PS feel free to email them to me if you don't want to post them here

if you split the 400 IM correctly
it's not so bad
fly cruise it, save your legs, lots of air
back stay in control, fast turns, save your legs, lots of air, feel great at the 200
*** stay long and smooth, work your turns and push offs; feel good enough to do complete dolphin kick pull outs
free work it and bring it home as fast as you can; especially turn it on for the last 50, blast those legs and bring it home
Sounds all well and good but my breaststroke is bad enough I am going to need to make up for all time lost where I can - fly, back (esp) and free. I think my strategery for tomorrow is to follow ande's advice for the fly, and try to work the back so that I can try to catch the breaststrokers on the free leg. I am pretty decent at holding a good pace to finish off a long race.
