    Allan in a 50 or a 100 you do what you have to do. The was not much wrong there. Power all the way clean exit and a powerfull hand entry. Did anyone notice the second wave, it was a big wave that he was kicking into. It seemed to me it was pushing him forward. I don't think he was stroke counting. I think he did 42 or 44 strokes + 21 or 22 sec gives him a score of 63 or up to 66. I am going to down load it and make it slow motion and get an accurate count. Yes, and it was hard to see from above the water, but it looks as though he was doing the sharp in-sweep right from the top of the stroke, tight to his body, just like Nystrand has been doing. Remember the straight-on underwater video of Nystrand? www.youtube.com/watch
