How many of you have gone to a meet, without a lot of proper prep for the meet? Maybe it was a lack of training time, less than focused training for any meet, maybe you have been swimming a lot but no real speed or race specific training during your practice?
What were your expectations going in? Did you worry too much about times or just go to do some racing and swim the best that you can?
I am thinking of FINALLY doing some meets. Found a low key one in a few weeks. I swim 4500-5000 about 5-6x a week. The practices are mix of aerobic swims, a lot of drill work to fix some flaws on my free/back and high intensity kick sets. Not done a lot/any speed work in months but I figure if I don't suck it up soon and just start racing, it may not happen for a long time to come.
Any feedback would be great.
Yeah, yuk it up...I still have the "backstroke" video...
See John - Nothing to fear. You embarrass yourself, but noone remembers. :rofl:
Come to zones this spring.:)
Nope, no one remembers but hey we've got it on video so no one NEEDS to remember :angel:
Yeah, John, come to Zones and see how my swim-once-a-week-for-two-months taper works out in the 200 free and 200 IM. :drown:
