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?
Here's a real-world relay example of a negative reaction time that wasn't DQ'd:
12 OREG 'C' 1:57.50 1:55.42
1) Hathaway, David L M46 2) Sumerfield, Bill H M46r:-0.12
3) Wren, Mark B M48 r:+0.24 4) Boone, Lou M46 r:+0.34
r:+0.59 29.59 1:01.45 (31.86)
1:29.88 (28.43) 1:55.42 (25.54)
I knew it was really, really close as I left the blocks.
In the 50 ***, I got off in .51 and swam a lousy time for me. So reaction time ain't everything.
