Greg - I thought the race looked great. I wish I had the strength to be able to power through the race like you do. That swim was all arms. I imagine you will be significantly faster in a pool that is not so wavy and by adding some more legs.

lol,yep that guy next to me really took it out fast. He was just a silly 23yr old trying to trick the 43yr old into keeping pace with him and dying together in the end. Definitely a race where I swam my own race and did not let him dictate my pace.

If your feet slide off to the side then maybe your feet are not centered on the wall. Try to place them more in line with your push off. Nice time in any case !

yep,i know I was pretty much all arms and upper body that race. My training had been a little suspect because I was sick leading up to that race for about week and half. Trained thru the cold but not like I normally train. Hopefully my legs will get back to where they need to be for next meet in middle of April. Then no more meets until Nats then I can start to let this old body repair itself. Right now I feel broken down which is good. Just need to grind out another month and half of hard training before taper!

Considering that's over 30 seconds faster than I swim the 200 free, then Good Race! The video was fun to watch, your competition died on the last 50. One thing though, right at the end where the suspense peaks your camera operator started getting lazy.

Good job! :applaud: Two comments: -I like the undulation you have going, but it seems to me that your arms are doing all the work. In other words, I think you must work on a more propulsive kick. Watch Phelps' leg work -> YouTube- Michael Phelps - Butterfly 01 -Your SDK was nice and long but it needs to be more explosive! Cheers.

You swam the race much smarter than the guy next to you. Man, he tightened up like nobody's business on the last 50. Great swim. Work on your kick but it is hard to have a good kick on the 200 fly. I find it difficult on the 200 fly. You have a nice rhythm overall. I wish that I could come near that time unrested.

Nope,I didnt hear anything playing. It was a "prize" heat. So they play music while you swam, if ya won your heat, you got a prize. For my efforts I won a swim cap lol.

My only question is, could you hear "Cotton Eyed Joe" playing while you swam? ;) Nice splits, Greg.
