Backstrokers rule!! Become one of us. :banana:
Don't encourage her Floyd. It's nice to be able to beat her in one event, since she make it look like I'm treading water in all the others.
She swam that fast without kicking how?????? Freestyle? Sure, I can buy it but BACKSTROKE?????? :confused:
It's her super fast arm turnover.
We had to do a set in practice last night,
4 X 25, odds as many strokes as possible, evens few stokes as possible
I took I couldn't get my arms to spin to get above 25 spl. Lauire yelled at me after the thrid one saying I wasn't chopping the stroke enough. I protested saying I was barely putting my hand in above my head (at least, it felt that way). Laurie responds, "Your stroke was longer than Michelle's when she's swimming normally." Ouch.
It's easier to get a fast turnover when one is vertically challenged. :thhbbb:
:afraid:

200 fly or 400 IM, if I could finish, would be my best shot because so few people enter. The 200 fly had 12 people overall in my age group.
The Men's 30-34 age group apparently only had 9 people that swam the 200 fly this summer.
...... I am a bit surprised that my 50 back made it. Wow... maybe I need to change strokes.:cheerleader:
