Let's talk about swimmers & their swims
Here's
2009 USMS South Central SCY Zone Championships
Southlake, Texas
Fri Mar 27th - Sun Mar 29th
Paul,
The shock of slamming my back on the water on the start overcame the vertigo.
I also swam a 50 of the stroke that shall remain nameless for the first time ever in a big meet. It's fun to be in the last year of your age group. None of my peers have anything to worry about there (:32.4).
rich,
the backstroke start is like a back dive, not a back splat.
Get Sheri to show you what to do.
How many SDKs did you take in your race?
In a 50 bk I tend to take 11 or 12 off the start & 12 on the 2nd 50.
32.4 is a decent 50 ***. Sneak in more SDKs.
5 or 6 might do wonders for it,
wish I could take 12 per length.
Ande

Well, thank GOODNESS that there's _something_ that I'm faster than you in.....:D
since you kill me in the other three strokes.
Still 32.4 for someone who doesn't walk duck footed is quite impressive.
Rich,I imagine in your age-group have made alot of people happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember the last couple of Nationals with you and Strand facing-off in the 100 IM. Really exciting stuff.
Tim L had some very nice swims in the CO state meet also. He gave Mr. Mann one heck of a race in the 400 IM (4:32.43 to Mike Mann's 4:32.32).
Thanks. Mike Mann was tremendous at the state meet in everything I saw him swim. I am not sure if he is going to nationals, but I would expect him to swim extremely fast if he does attend. McCrusty, you had some nice swims as well (especially the 200 back which you split extremely well). Have a great time at nationals.
Tim
The NW zone meet was in Boise the week before a meet in Federal Way so not a lot of swimmers went,but my teammate Wes Edwards-56- went 2:07.74 for the 200 back.
Results aren't posted yet, but there were some excellent swims at the Colo.short course championships today and yesterday.
Probably most outstanding were the swims from my training partner, Sheri Hart (35-39), who led off the medley relay in 26.17 breaking her own national record of 26.93. She also swam a 56.3 100 back (another record), a 58something 100, IM just missing Susan VDL's record and lifetime bests in the 50 free (23.80) and 100 free (51.48). Dara holds those records which are untouchable, but still muy pronto.
Mike Mann, 54, also had a great meet going a 4:55 500, and 1:48 200 and a quick 2:04 200 IM 8 heats after swimming a 49 100 free.
And watch out Rich Burns next year. I swam my first 50 back in 7 years and went a 28.77 which I believe is only .02 off the 65+ record he just set. Thank goodness for SDK!
I can't say enough good things about Sheri Hart, either! She is such an inspiration. She swam with DAMM for a couple of years while the Hart family lived in Dallas. She always had a great work ethic, and her versatility is amazing. She ran the Dallas White Rock Marathon one year and came to swim practice the next day!! Sheri also currently has 3 children, all under the age of 7 (youngest is almost 1 yr!)!!! Congratulations to Sheri!!
