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?
Fort.....if I had 3 more inches I would have blown by him...he died so bad with his "nuclear" attack the first 40 yards that it was like a dead fish getting pulled in from the swamp on a string.....my mistake for not attacking on the first lap!
Oh and by the way JS.....what has all that "controlled bizerk" training done for your shoulders the last year?!
Height is no excuse, Mr. Smith. My nemesis is 6 feet and I'm a mere 5'4". No laying around the first 50. When the knees are all better, I'm sure you'll be formidable than usual, if that's possible.
Maybe it's not that race pace training, but that lope in the stroke for EvilSmith that's caused the shoulder woes? Aren't all such injuries due to poor technique? ;) I doubt it's caused by excessive breaststroke.

Of course you are right. I was just sort of joshing with you. Although this is why I have heretofore as a master avoided the 200 IM. Tough to get too chewed up on a 100 IM.
