Video from zones

Dang! That Donna lady made my day. She watched my back video. First, she agreed with me that my finish sucked big time. :laugh2: But then she said I was very smooth and TI and that there was no "whitewater from thrashing" like that whippersnapper next to me. :hug: I'm also very "low" in the water. No TI backstroke clinic for me! :groovy: I was apparently too lazy about my SDKs though ... Gotta go another 5 meters. LOL. I want to pass along my observations after watching the Fort's 50 back; these are some things I mentioned to her. Pretty good start, but needs more SDK's and when she surfaced, it wasn't enough at an angle, her head popped almost straight up thus reducing forward propulsion a little. Having said that, her backstroke looks like it should, she is low in the water and she is kicking, most probably a 6-beat kick because a fast kick drives a fast arm turnover and she definitely had that. Had she been using what she thought was a 2-beat kick, her armstroke would have been much slower. Also, her kick was underwater where it should be with only the toes breaking the surface, thus the appearance of not much whitewater. The gal next to her had a lot of whitewater because her feet were breaking the surface instead of her toes.. And my final comment is she coasted into the finish and won't do that again, right Fort? Those flags can be our friends.
