Just returned from the DAM scm meet in Dallas. The format was slightly different this year, with all events on one day, but the pool conditions were the same. Tapered and shaved and wore Aquablade jammers instead of a full body B70. My training had been solid, and I'd had no recent illnesses.
What I found was a 2 second difference per 100 in the 400. Granted this was the last event (at 11:30 am), and I had already swum the 1500 four hours earlier (which was by the way slower than my 1650 in February also wearing a B70). I plan to retaper for zones in two weeks and swim another 400 (first event of the day). Perhaps I will be able to shave a bit of time off (no pun intended).
Train harder? Train smarter? No--I believe the difference in suits is very real.
You're a lovely person and I'm glad to have met you (online). I respect your opinions and I agree with you frequently. That said, your typeface and color choices drive me up the wall.
:D
(Oh hey everyone, the REPORT POST function seems to work pretty well today. Give it a shot when you see a nasty post. Just sayin'.)
Why thank you, Novaova; kind of you to say. :) And, yes, I know this drives you up the wall, so I at least spared you in our back-and-forth PM's... But, your still stuck with it in my forum posts! :worms:
Cheers!
