Subject: RE: Breaststroke The problem with breaststroke for me would be that the kick would wear out my legs before I got to the bike. I guess if it was breast or sit out the race, I would do it.
One thing I would not do is worry about what the other competitors think. I pay the same amount as any of them (well, one race I get a $5 discount for being in the club... ) and as long as you are not trying to impede them, I don't feel they have any reason to be mad. I would still stay far to the side of the bad shoulder (to get my whole body between it and the other swimmers ) and maybe even give the rest of the field a few second head start.
Enjoy your race!
