Subject: RE: Is a 2:30 100 yd that bad?It isn't very competitive and if you know how to swim, you don't really need to save yourself. There are people swimming 1:30/100m and faster who aren't saving anything for anybody. Last year @ 2:00/100m I felt like I was way behind from the get go. With my poor swimming my off season focus was on becoming a better swimmer and I am... at least in regards to pool times. In terms of saving yourself or it being "easy" I heard a quote the other day from a famous bicyclist to the effect of "it doesn't get any easier, you just go faster". My take, you need to work on your swimming. |
