If we had records like this it would make more coaches give workouts like Michigan Husker was referiing to in the other thread. I see a lot of similarities in the workouts and the event distances. That would be the excuse to give workouts like that.
Well thankfully, it has never had that effect here! :yawn:
I think most of the form stroke longer distances are done by those trying to get some sense of acheivement, it's fairly rare that the good 100 - 200 competitors bother to do them. (unless they want their name on yet another record)
They are also only offered on our event schedule once a year at the specific long distance meet. (thank goodness...who wants to sit through all of that at your local meet!? ) :laugh2:
