Putrid Pudding (Page 5)

so I'm checking the logs...Yanti has a "bye week" (thanks NFL) recovery from the marathon...if you haven't stopped by go read her report

Chrissie is sick--get well soon!

Pat has (drum roll please.....)7600/40000

Erin has 2500/20000

Isis54 WHERE ARE YOU???? no goal/no swim to date.  PLEASE TEAM-INSPIRE our teammate into getting in the water

Nick 1 1/2 hrs out of 12

Heather 2200/20000

Dexter 2100/15,000

yours truly 3500/26000 with a swim on tap tomorrow

I wouldn't worry too much about that kitty, Pat. I took care of it.

And now for today's inspiration:

RYAN LOCHTE recently beat the 'unbeatable' Michael Phelps in the 200 I.M. at the U.S. short course nationals. Ryan's a world record holder and an Olympic gold medalist ... and he is just DAYUM FINE!

Hail no--the dude is waving at ME cause I made it through a swim where the mojo was missing...let's just say that leaving the contacts home and using gogglles alone without correction made swimming a contact sport and it wasn't the pool piglet coach --more like my head on the wall, back on the lane lines and knee to the ladder. It was a pretty ugly morning at the pool but I persevered 19,000 yards left to goal.

Any of you swim gurus know anything about early vertical foream?  If so, fill me in cause I'm not getting it

LOL

Sorry, Judi ... try crashing into the coach next time

You probably know this, but you get the most pull (most surface area with which to displace water) from a forearm that's vertical in the water, with approx. 90-degree angle to the upper arm. That's why you want to get it vertical ASAP after full extension of the arm during the glide.

But, the best way to get it vertical? Instead of pulling it straight down, you displace more water (after the extension) if you pull the hand down into the water (keeping the elbow high in the water) by pulling back with the shoulder (not the hand) but making the hand do a slight outward curve (the top part of the backward S). That motion also sets you up better for the hip roll.

Clear as mud?
