Wow, Rich absolutely destroyed me on the back half of the 50br. I didn't see how bad it was until this evening. WOW. At some point it was decided that I should just kick my way through that race, utilizing my streamline. After seeing Rich's rapid-fire beatdown from that perspective, I think I need to rethink my strategery. Congratulations again Rich! Man, this is humbling!:drink: :applaud: :bow: :notworthy:

Thanks for the email vids, Rich. Oh, you can send me that 50 *** too please! I don't know what Muppet was thinking, doing nothing but streamlining on a 50. :thhbbb: I watched your 50 free. Same story. Great second length! Did you sneak a breath on the start and turn though? It looked like you really sped up once you found your rhythm. Gotta work on starts and get off the block faster. You're a sprinter. C'mon. Embrace it. I watched my 50 back too. I have almost never seen my swims on video. Our video camera was broken forever and I usually go to meets alone. But I think I should have SDK'd more. LOL. I can only say that I was very tired, as that was my 5th event of the day. Thanks, Barb, for capturing that ugly gliding in finish. :laugh2: Argh. I don't want to be a backstroker anymore. Flags scare me. (No, folks, do not suggest BR. I'd rather do the 100 free now and be even more like my twin.:eek:) Also, I had absolutely no kick whatsoever. What was I thinking? I guess I wasn't. I was too blurry. I'm going to work on my backstroke kick now. Good god. Big, big contrast to my 50 free where I remembered to kick. Big time sophomore mistake.

I'll look at your 50 & 100 brst. Where is your 200 brst?

I'll look at your 50 & 100 brst. Where is your 200 brst? no video of that as far as I am aware much to the pity...the 150 mark was very controversial. I'd love some input into my style of rapid turnover sprint finishng. PM your email Peter I'll get them out.

Send 'em to me Rich!! I wanna see what I missed.

definitely! i might be able to catch something on the video that could help out. the turning the wrong way idea was just a hypothesis, based on what my minis tend to do wrong ;)

Watch out Vicky Swanson! Did Barb video Mollie and Julie's heat of backstroke?

Rich, please send them all. Thanks. I look forward to seeing the "showdown" Alison

Rich,over all your BR was looking good. The start on the 50 was a little flat and you didn't get all your body "through the keyhole".!00 start was much better. Watching your 50 I was unclear why you didn't get more from your kick. Watching the beginning of your 100 I thought"good kick",then you sped up the turn over and I think I see the problem.As you sped up instead of speeding everything up,you started pulling before your kick was finished.Thats OK sometimes for people with poor kicks.You have a good kick so use ALL of it.Starting your pull early seemed to slow you down.In a 50 there is no glide,but finish your kick before you start your pull.In the 100 "ride the glide"for just an instant. Thanks for the videos:applaud:
