PS enjoy my daughter's camerawork post race analysis!
Due to my supreme mastery of this stroke I feel inclined to comment ... ;)
In all seriousness ... as many have pointed out your head position looks off. You should be looking down right in front of you and not moving your head at all above water. You can move your haed just a bit when it enters the water to help you get your undulation.
You can definitely go deeper on the start and turn. Your pull looked a bit wide, too. If you narrow it in a bit you should be able to get higher in the water. Make sure you try and get your recovery up and think about getting over the wave.
I wish I could get anywhere near your 36 for my 50 *** ... very nice! A good set for you that someone here posted once would be:
5 (or 10) x 100 25 *** focusing on one area of technique (like your head position) then 75 free. Repeat three more times with a different technique focus and on the last one do the 25 race pace. Do them on an interval that gives you plenty of rest - like 2:30.
GOOD LUCK and thanks for sharing!
Oh, and your daughter is adorable.
