  • I have to say that my most recent time drop of 1.5 seconds in 100 SCM free has to be due to kick. I started the race with the goal of doing 2 SDKs off the start and every turn and to hit a strong 6 beat kick the whole way. Before, I would be lucky to even do one SDK and my kick was weak at best. Even with having been sick the last week and almost no pool time in 2 weeks, I still managed to drop the time. Granted I died on the last length (28.23 - 31.71 split), I came home in 59.94. Paul
