Is anyone out there besides Ande wearing racing suits in practice? I've never done it before, but was wondering it it's worth the bother to throw an old fastskin on for time periodically or during taper?
I think it helps to get real familiar with swimming fast
under the same conditions and equipment as meets
So, I shaved and swam a practice. I have to say, it seems like Ande is on to something with all of his FSII practice swims. Swimming with reduced drag makes for different technique priorities. I had to relax and lower my stroke rate to go fast today. It's a much different feeling, and I'm glad I have several weeks to get used to it. I nearly collided with the wall a couple times.
