At the request of Doug Adamavich, I'm about to start a new feature on the Arizona Masters Web site's blog called Fast Twitch.
It's not much different from what Ande Rasmussen is doing on this Web site. I won't be weighing myself and I will probably not go into much detail on weightlifting, though. I will post workouts each day (twice a day on the two days a week I do doubles) and add some comments and other stuff.
Since the blog on Arizona's site has no place for comments, you are welcome to post your thoughts about my workouts on this thread.
My first post is on the blog now. Take a look and I'll see you on the flip side.

I have two questions to answer:
1) Kevin, if you were planning to go all-out on all the 75 IMs, then you should have not drilled the last round. In sets like these, you will get tired and you will feel like you can't get your arms over the water. That's the point. You are pushing your body to the breaking point and pushing it further. You're trying to tell your body to continue to swim fast -- and swim correctly -- despite the large amounts of lactate in your body. I'm doing a set tomorrow (Thursday) that will illustrate this.
2) I'm swimming the 100s of all the strokes at nationals, plus the 50 *** and 100 IM. At the USAS meet in June, I'm definitely swimming the 100 ***. I might do the 100 back as well.
Yes, Paul, I'm doing a 100 fly in front of more than 50 people. It'll be my first 100 fly and 100 free shaved ... in my life. Come back and laugh when you do a 100 *** at nationals.
