I'm not too worried about the turning aspects...just a little unsure of what to do at the backstroke to *** turn. Also any good workouts for this? I'm doing 900 free for warm up (0-1650 in 6 weeks) then trey to do another 1500 per workout. I've obviously been hitting *** but want to get some fly and back work in as well as turns--obviously I can always go to the wall and touch then turn but that's inefficient. Is doing a 100 IM then hitting sets of 50 of fly and back or what? I've ordered a couple of books for reference and they should get here shortly. Any thoughts or articles?

  • Big Boy.....I look at the breastroke leg of the IM the same as the running leg of a triathalon....something thrown in to appease those "special interest" athletes! Best bumper stick as of late: "people that can't do sports run...people that can't run, run farther" :D Paul I totally agree ... the breaststroke leg is just for those extra special swimmers so they stop whinning ... absolute worst part of an IM ... such an icky stroke ... oh well ... Fiesty, I suck at the 100 IM. Are you doing at any upcoming meets? Maybe I can try and keep up, I'm sure you are much faster than me. I usually am ahead after the first 25, then don't really gain anything on back, get creamed on *** and attempt to catch everyone on free. I had a very interesting meet at Lattof this weekend, kept getting put in the fastest head with all the superstars in lane 1 ... *sigh*
