Go out easy like Allen said. You picked some good events to start with. Good luck.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/105517?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 27 Sep 2008 12:35:16 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:81691b57-c84e-4e25-bfd8-310cc6630615tjrpattI prefer LCM over SCM. I like doing SCM because it is very international. I wish that USA swimming could break their addiction to &quot;yards&quot; swimming. When I did the longer events in SCM, it was a big adjustments because I never swam a 200 fly in SCM. Wow, you have a LCM meet in October. Good luck.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/105489?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 27 Sep 2008 10:37:29 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9ec1a49c-ef96-4774-abdf-1da655c051c5Allen StarkI prefer LCM myself.I think the adjustment is mostly mental.Just think about keeping long.Build into each race.Think of the 50M as giving you more time to accelerate.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/105462?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:42:33 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:5c1a71e0-4643-480b-9039-d27b055508a5AnnGWhoa, no slouch events there - remember to take them out long and strong. The 400 IM LCM is probably my most challenging event, the fly kills me. Dont take it out too fast.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
