The Middle Distance Lane

You're not a sprinter and you're not a pure distance swimmer. Your 50's & 1500's aren't as great as your 200's, 400's, & 500's. Your 100's aren't shabby. Let the D Divas take those 800's, 1000's, 1500's & 1650's. You're caught in the middle. You've got OK speed, but you can do those longer sets that make pure sprinters ill. You're well conditioned and tend to do well with back to back events. You're in great company, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are middle distance swimmers who have excellent 100's but not so great 50's. Man you can train. This is the middle distance lane. Don't get lapped. the breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

    No one else swims like Chris. It's almost like he's doing backstroke only on his stomach. :) It kind of reminds me of my stroke when I had a good tempo going only it was just my breathing side, big high reach. Not sure if it was to try and get more breath or a deeper dig with my opposite stroke. 52,55 pretty good splits as well
