I would like to propose the First Annual Forum 50.
The idea originated here: Eat or not before swimming in Early Morning? - Page 4 - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums
Here are the rules:
Swim an all out 50 for time
Post your time here
That's it. Swim an off 50, swim your best, swim a 50 IM, who cares. It is like a postal swim, except not official for anything, and takes a lot less time.
It's only a 50!
The next time I have access to starting blocks is Friday, so I will do my swim Friday or Monday.
If you got'em, use 'em. (Blocks)
Good luck.
Did about 27 SCY50fr yesterday. Even though I did hesitate on the turn, the first 25 (block dive and breakout) wasn't much quicker than the last 25 - lol (about 13 and 14).
Looking at the vid I need to:
Hit the water more streamlined
Find a better underwater streamline path
Surface earlier with more speed
I should be hitting the 1st wall at 12 seconds with my speed - I can push that without a dive. This makes sense due to my lack of experience though.
