In swimming, how is it that one can excel in both sprints and long distance? Is it because the distance games in swimming are only "relatively" distance games but are not really distance games from a physiologic perspective?
In the world of tracks, for example, an athlete cannot excel at both sprints and distance. Even the athletes from the two areas look different - much leaner for the distance runners and muscular for the sprinters.
I am wondering about this because whether I should focus on either the sprint or the distance as I plan to participate in the masters meet, or whether I don't have to sacrifice one for the other.
These two paragraphs seem contradictory, Mr. Smith. :thhbbb: You have the ideal build of a drop dead sprinter -- you're really, really tall.
Fort, fort, fort.....don't buy into stereotypes! I may be tall....but I've got the engine of a middle-distance freestyler (and the slow twitch reaction times to boot)!
By the way George.....nice call out on the "don't get your hair wet" breastroke technique......rumor has it that's how Mr. Commings actually picked that 'event"!
