At the risk of getting beaten up over this, I was wondering how all you 100 free experts would plan a race to beat a 40 year old with crazy strength. I am a fan of Dara Torres, but if I was kid working every day to just a get one shot at the Olympics, I would be super motivated to beat her. From a coach's perspective I would say, "Work to put that old gal back into retirement!!"
Ideas?
I agree,
There has to be a switch to LCM way out from the olympics. I would think a year out. That is just a guess on my part.
It looked like Dara came up fast with single or double DK's and that was it. I didn't see her have a problem. Perhaps Coughlin will show the way with her underwater perfromance much like Phelps will at the trials.
I would assume all olympic hopefulls only swim LCM.
I think the key ingredient to getting to the olympics is coaching. Knowing how to periodize and peak. As Ande mentioned, it takes multiple good swims and one phenominal one to make the team. Dara has the experience to do that. There is alot to be said for that.
