Subject: RE: Different strokes for different folks?Along with most of the other posters, my swim is primarily free-style (front crawl )...100% in tris unless I get tired/kicked in the face. Please keep in mind that swimming in a pool vs swimming in open water are two VERY different creatures. And you will see just about anything at a tri (though most will be doing front crawl...the guy whose doing butterfly is going to get his butt kicked...j/k ). At one of my first tris, I resorted to doggie paddle...a mixture of anxiety and severe chop limited my visibility (my goggles fogged up something fierce. ) I do not recommend this AT ALL, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. |
