Foreward: My 50 was a good time for me, my 200 time I have actually beat in practice from a push. Criticism on my 50, starts and turns would probably be most beneficial to me, but I am interested to get feedback on some race pace video. These videos are from the DAM SCM meet yesterday.
My times are annotated in the video, but here they are for reference.
50: 27.71
200: 33.48/36.18/36.78/33.77 1:09.66/1:10.55 2:20.21

I commented in your blog that it must have looked like you were swimming a 1500 instead of 200 based on your split and after seeing the video I'll stick to that! You really, really need to crank it up. Even the 50 looked a little too controlled. The fact you swam a 27 low with that kind of turnover is impressive. I think if you can keep your sound stroke mechanics, but increase your stroke rate you will improve a lot.
Thanks Kirk. I am not disagreeing with any of those points :)
