I attempted the impossible...yes for a brief moment in time I pretended that I had fast twitch muscles and did a 50 fr and a 50 BACK :doh: While I was less than thrilled with the idea I decided that every soo often you have to at least TRY new events...my last official SCM 50 free was 1999 and I even managed a best time on my 50bk.... Of course there was the standby 200breast and 1500 free to make up for any brusing of the ego as a result of the meager attempts to sprint.
I have no idea how you sprint studs do it...I was the last off the block and as for breathing WELLL...let's just say there was A LOT...and my poor legs had no idea what the :censor: I was doing trying to kick.
STILL it was pretty fun..I was pleased that I am at least trying new events even though I am a distance/*** person. How bout you guys? Anyone stepped "out of the box ?" I am sure that the people at the meet got a good giggle but for the most part it was pretty fun.
Evilstroke = breaststroke, for me.
I'm lousy at breaststroke but am not afraid to enter breaststroke events, and the 400 IM is my favorite event, so I'll say that my evilstroke is... sidestroke, since I could probably do a decent elementary backstroke if properly motivated. :drown: (If anyone wants to start up a sidestroke or elementary backstroke trash-talking thread, I promise to post something that no one will feel compelled to respond to. I end threads... you can look it up...)
Anyway to step out of my "box" this fall I'm going to join the Butternut Club by swimming at least 500 fly at some point. I train plenty of fly; my only enemy in this endeavor is my own brain. :drink: :wine: :drink: :wine: Take THAT, brain! (sorry, liver)
