I was just wondering, how many of you typically enter the maximum number of events that you can? I always do. One of our new coaches wants us to try and focus more on our "stronger events" and skip the other events. I usually like to see how well I might do in a event I haven't done in awhile.
I'm not surprised that Patrick can do a 200 fly and then 100 back with 10 min. rest- he's used and developed his slow twitch fibers for years. It's pure physiology, plain and simple. Not . . . "not enough rest whinning" :)
Eh, I bet he just doesn't kick. :) He did say "languid."
I could do it again; I lived. But that 100 back was not my finest racing minute-and-change. In fact, the only thing that made it a race at all was that my closest competitor in the 100 back had also just done the 200 fly. We both laughed afterwards in the warmdown pool about how numb our legs felt during the whole backstroke race.
