Finally saw it. It was hard to see much with the shakiness.
Hey don't criticise my little Frank Capra!! LOL I can't post the 100 and 200 for her swhizzing the camera around. Well I could post it for cute factor I guess. It's like watching a 70's music show on TV.
I saw the head bob (acceptable at eh end of a 200 not in a 50) and yeah my breakout was way too soon. I shortened the breakouts for that race...trying to keep maximum speed off of the dive...it worked to a point but then left me with extra strokes to make. Perhaps I hurried everything up too much. I think my normal breakout that I do on the 100 and 200 is probably fine and I should focus on making the breakouts longer for those longer races.
It's good to see yourself on tape regardless. Interesting points about the knees will have to look at that...I definitely was not trying to wave in that race. I was told 50 should be flatter, mine was almost old school breaststroke. The guy on the right has a good technique though--so that flies in the face of that theory! Maybe with the right break out I'd have gone faster. With so much wrong it's amazing I did a faster time but at least it means I can fix a few things and go faster :D
In addition, Kyra, I tend to not get up much in the water...which leads to head bobbing to breathe. I think I wil have to do some work on the insweep part. If I get out of the water a little further I'll have room to breathe. Well hopefully I'll be nodding less for NEM and then Zones.
