Does anyone else flat out refuse to do kick sets because they hate it and are convinced the knee will get aggravated to the point that the returns become negative?
Is there evidence to support that you are in fact better off avoiding kicking or am I just being a wuss?
I have a complete tear to the PCL which I was told not to have operated. I use a metal brace for skiing and hiking. I am fine on the bicycle as long as the hills are not too steep and long. I find kicking very uncomfortable and can not keep up with my lane mates, tried different fins to no avail. I usually just go last or jump into an empty lane for the kick sets. I would love to do the kick sets. ANy suggestions for fins. Backstroke kick, kicking on the side is very painful! I am not a sprinter. My best event are middle distance free, distance free, 200 fly and 400 IM. I am upset that I can not longer race 200 ***. The first thing I asked ski patrol when I had my accident, will I be able to swim *** and fly! THanks for any suggestions.
