As a distance open water person, I'm always amazed at how fast short distance swimmers actually swim (those of you out there who are shooting for sub-one minute 100's know who you are!!!) I definitely do some sprint work in my training, but I'm still impressed at the times people put up who are real sprinters.
So I'm curious - what do people consider a "slow" 100? (Assuming that one is actually swimming instead of noodling.....) :snore:
.
My plan, FMIF, is to learn fly when I'm 80 and go right for the 200. All the real flyers will have shot their shoulders out by then (thereby reducing the competition), and my team will love me for all the points. And best of all, everyone will say, "Wow, a 2Fly at her age...she must be a true athlete!" :drink:
Seriously, "fast for one's self" is where it's at for me.
I like how you think! We must get together sometime and talk strategy! :D
