Hi!
Well, it was fun. I ended up spinning my wheels in the 50Br with a 32.11, a 1:07 in the 100IM, a 2:37 in the 200IM and I finished my fly with a 27.97 (that almost beat my time 12 years ago when I trained an average of 3000yds). Our state meet in in mid-April and I intend to train more. The worst feeling in the world was when I got out of the pool. I recently had a calcium scoring test (CT Scan that measures calcium plaque) and I've got to go in Thursday because the results were bad. It wasn't a surprise to me but it still forces some issues. First, my diet will change and I should force myself to exercise more. I hope everyone over 35, who has a history of CHD gets this $200 test, it can tell you a lot, not everything (soft plaque evades the CT Scan) but a lot.
I really think the techpaddles made-up for a lot of yardage I didn't do but it didn't make-up for the pain I felt after each swim. So more yardage. Got to go, God Bless, Coach T.

What are the drills to help stop "spinning wheels" in BR? I have the same problem, seems when I'm nice and relaxed I swim faster then when I try and hurry up the stroke. I just cannot seem to get the 50 BR down - 100 is better since I stretch it out and relax. I'm thinking the 200 BR would be even better for me, if I could swim BR that far and not drown!
