Quick 50 Yard Kick and NEW VIDEOS

Posted by Kevin Doak on Thursday at: 4:28am (October 16th, 2008)
I squeezed in a 3300 yard practice today after a long day of work. My chest is sore from the mediocre benchmarking set yesterday. I had a coach time a 50 yard kick from a push. It was done butterfly kick on my back with a flipturn. I clocked a 26.6. I was slightly pleased. I think that's a solid performance. I believe frequent small benchmarking sets keeps my confidence high and motivates me to keep training day after day. One of the few benefits of training alone, anytime I want to benchmark myself, I do.

Considering this weekend I did a 50 Backstroke in 23.47, this basically means that my entire upper body only accounts for 3 seconds of speed. I'm not sure if that's good or not... I would think it would be more than that. I think I can lower my time in this 50 yard kick benchmark by a second or two. I'll keep working on it.

I posted my meet videos a few days ago but forgot to post that they were available:
