Rich - I commented in your swims on the other site. but after someone (was it Jim) commented on your backstroke, just thought I'd add this about the 50 back. The start was different. Watch Fortress' start, it is very good, almost flawless. Same for the turn. Your kicking is way too big and splashy. Read Donna's comments about the kick on Fort's swim. The kick should be very tight and rapid with the toes just barely breaking the surface.
My backstroke start was dunk and push off...that's why it looks odd--I was not risking a back strain at Zones lol.
I thought I did great to catch up with the other guys on the SDK and breakout around the same point LOL.
The turn cracks me up though. It's like...roll....flip...ask for directions to the other end...push off etc lol
