i'm sick today so I didn't get a chance yet stayed home
I think it would be good to practice starts to figure out how to get the most glide, speed and distance
that's cool that some of y'all took a crack at it
looks like 26.3 is the fastest time so far
J, was that yards or meters

Ande,
Yes, I did the feet-first challenge in a meter pool...
Sorry you're not feeling well... I've felt a bit of a cold coming as well, but drinking lot's of rooibos tea...
Maybe your cold is from your very FAST work-out... perhaps it took a little out of the system.. or you were just starting to fight the cold, so there was extra energy during the performance...? Is it possible you stayed too excited after (those were excellent times), potentially draining your energy?

this morning
the pool was set up LCM
I did a
25 meter feet first sprint off the blocks
tyler timed
started from his go and
went 22.2
I used for the
reverse streamline on my back over head scull techinique
I found it was hard to get a breath and
probably better to do it with no breath
it was also difficult to figure out
where I was and when I crossed the center line
What causes a cold it is not the weather or how fast you train. Drinking special teas does not cure it.
Hey George,
Who said anything about curing a cold? Drinking tea will at least give your body a fighting chance. Conversely, being physically tired from training can make you more susceptible to the bug. Tea helps...
