Can someone please tell me what sandbagging is? I heard some people discussing it at my last meet, but didn't know exactly what they were talking about. It didn't sound very flattering though by the tone of their voices. Thanks in advance. :banana:
Wow, what a great thread. I've heard/used sandbagging in the same 2 contexts (meets and workouts).
However, sometimes I have a hard time judging how much I really have in me. Today, our main set was 10x100 best average, I averaged about 1:08, but cut it down to a 1:04 for the last. Some people said I sandbagged. Sometimes I just have a hard time getting into a set...the other day we did a set of 200s, then 100s, and I just never got into the 200s, but was catching people on the 100s.
Before my first meet, I asked a coach to time me for a 50 free. He gave me seed times for all the free events, and was only off by a second or 2 for all.
