"Life is always moving.
Stand up and rise above the rest with passion in your arms and fire in your heart.
Dare to dream, dream high, dream ahead."
-Rohit Sapra
Larry Wood who trains with me, is a crazy driver. He likes to go fast, weave in and out of lanes to pass people. Drives like he's in a hurry. If we're at a meet and there's a long drive home, like Dallas to Austin or Houston to Austin, if I leave a bit ahead of him, I can be pretty sure at some point he's going to come blazing past me, 15 or 20 MPH above my speed, which is usually close to the limit. But when Larry swims, he knows what pace he's going to hold in which event and usually to always is very careful & calculated. Always negative splits races, always has a strong last 100, loves to pass swimmers who went out too hard and died.
I feel he could benefit from going out a littler faster and taking more chances when he races, maybe have a little reckless abandon when he races.
So I usually tell him.
"Swim like you drive."
