I've finally started looking at the clock. Despite lots of work in the pool (for a mammal), and a stroke that those in the know say only needs refinement of the smaller things, I'm really not much faster than when my stroke was terrible. Hmmmph.
Today, I looked at my 50y time for bilateral catch-up drill. I love that drill. Easy. ~ 60-61 secs with easy pushoffs and a casual open turn.
Then I swam a "crisp" 50, a little more effort, breathing every cycle, same quality turn. 52-53 secs.
Shouldn't the spread between the two be much much wider?
I really like swimming, but man, I am really slow! I can't see how improving the finer points is going to shave off 30 seconds per 100, but I'll keep trying!

Too f@ckin depressed from various injuries to care about having a signature line.
