Thank y'all so much,
I was happy to get the 100 IM record, it was 1:00.29, last year I went 1:00.32, so I was thrilled to break through. In san Antonio I swam it completely fresh.
SCM is a short strange season, if you read through the record books you'll see that some SCM records are softer than the SCY or LCM records.
Like for 45 - 49 men the:
LCM fly recs are:
50 Fly Paul Smith 08-10-06 25.90
100 Fly Paul Carter 08-04-02 56.42
200 Fly Dennis G Baker 07-19-08 2:04.07
while the
SCM fly recs are:
50 Fly Paul Smith 12-02-07 25.82
100 Fly Paul Carter 12-14-03 57.17
200 Fly Dennis Baker 11-19-06 2:06.4
Here's my blog about the 2008 RJ meet:
I did not break the 100 fr record. David Guthrie called me & said
"whoa man way to go, 51.4 in the 100 free. That's fast!"
I told him I went for a 50 time in my 200 free, my first 50 was 24.5 (with a bad turn) my next 50 was 51.4, I did not go 51.4 for the 100 free, I wish. Soon as I got home, I sent FB message to jeff commings to correct it.
Honestly, I've been having trouble with my 100 free & really haven't swum a good one since 1996 when I went 46.4.
I split 54.9 at San Antonio, it was my 5th swim of the day, my last swim of the meet, I was tired & I thought there was no way we'd get the record. So I went out slow & died.
Last year I went 54.5 100 SCM free at LB & 48.8 in the 100 free in the 2008 SCY nats. I hope to swim a better one at long beach next week & at atlanta. We'll see.
To improve my 100 free, I think I need to:
+ More strength,
+ More speed,
+ race it fresh,
+ get psyched,
+ split it right,
+ hit my turns right,
+ do 6 SDKs off each wall in my race,
+ do more fast flutter kicking in practice, &
+ more Lactate 100 free swims in practice.
