Anyone have ideas on reducing the reaction time off the blocks? Only one of my events at Nationals posted a reaction time, and it looks like I went ahead and finished a cup of coffee before I left. Was I just thinking too much? Or do I need a cattle prod?
My reaction time varied from .70 to .73. I didn't realize that I had good reaction time until I saw my numbers next to others' on the results. It's interesting because, although I seem to have decent reaction time, I do not break the surface in the lead. My theory is that I react fairly quickly but do not use my legs enough to push off.
I only got times for 3 of the 5 events that I swam. Both times that I did not get a time I was in lane 5 of the pool closest to the dive tank. Did anyone else notice a trend with a certain lane that wasn't registering reaction time, or is it just a fluke?
