That's why at masters swim I never want to be the lane leader because I don't want the responsibility of counting ;) <br /><br />Thanks for checking out my IM Louisville report! It was a really really awesome experience and I LOVED it. I wore a TON of sunscreen - SCAPE SPF 50, and for the most part I was only a little red on my shoulders/face - that stuff is amazing. BUT, check out #5 on this post: http://am723.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-feel-like-i-have-bunch-of-random.html I wore a 2-piece tri suit and the top flipped up somehow on my back during the bike and OWWWWW! You can still see the triangle, though it's much paler. So, this is what I would've looked like all over if it hadn't been for the SCAPE!<br /><br />You and Mrs LoTC should TOTALLY sign up for IM Louisville 2012! It is such a great experience. This year for me is all Oly's and HIM's (3 of each so far; probably adding at least one more Oly) to build speed/strength in the shorter distances and get more racing experience... IM Louisville 2012 is tentatively on my long-term calendar, but we'll see how things pan out!Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515024311690347804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386543213832617278.post-28694610625019224232011-02-19T10:49:52.993-05:002011-02-19T10:49:52.993-05:00J, at first when reading the post I thought you we...J, at first when reading the post I thought you were crazy for doing a complete 3500. Then when you explained the 400 hard, easy to recover, I think that's genius. But then again, I'm a shitty swimmer so don't put to much weight in my support. BUT, I do like the thought process.<br /><br />BBryan https://www.blogger.com/profile/03248841413916879196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386543213832617278.post-22484203987251002262011-02-18T04:42:57.198-05:002011-02-18T04:42:57.198-05:00"2 minute rests" WTF??

I d...Simply put... you are an asshole in the pool. I do the sets, mainly because I don't have my breathing ready for the full length set yet but I too make sure that out of everyone swimming I swim their pace or faster. <br /><br />Why? Well crap, it's only going to make me faster right? If I don't use these people as rabbits for me, then I will never get faster.<br /><br />I get your logic on the whole race mentality and why stop.<br /><br />Typically its like running, you don't go out and just run 2hrs non stop every time. You switch it up to mess with your muscles a bit and build speed.<br /><br />To me, swimming is 100% technique anyways. You can do what you want as long as you have a comfortable stroke down pat.<br /><br />Nice swim man. I can't swim that far yet... don't want to either LOL.Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386543213832617278.post-490073669908002742011-02-17T11:30:33.563-05:002011-02-17T11:30:33.563-05:00dude I like your swim theory.
