Man!!! So tough on Soni!!!! Everyone us has had a race or many races like her's. From a coaching stand point I would prefer to see a swimmer with the guts to take out. She got excited and that is it. If she had gone out 1 second slower it would have probably meant 3 to 4 seconds faster on the back-end. Hey Glenn I will be watching your splits at Indy.
You have the opposite problem from Soni not going out in your longer races harder. You can and when you do the results will be fantastic. I remember years ago in Seattle (I think I was 52) 200 meter breastroke out in 1:14 back in 1:28. I made the turn at the 100 and said "I am f'd." Won the race but died like a dog.
