Ready for a mini-taper

Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 2:29pm (June 21st, 2011)

I'm excited to race!  The Canada Cup starts in 10 days.  Today or tomorrow I will begin to diverge from the rest of the sprint group.  The team as a whole has started reducing the yardage as of this week so my practices probably won't be that much different.  I'm really looking forward to what 6 weeks of hard training and stroke changes will yield.  It really hasn't been that long, only a month and a half, but I feel entirely different in the water.  I catch so much more water in my stroke.  I anticipate I'll have a good 50 Free, 50 back and 100 Back.  I'm unsure of the 50 Fly and 100 Free.  I've done very little butterfly while with CW.  The 100 Free should be faster than I swam it at the Michigan Grand Prix but I doubt it will be anything groundbreaking.  Please consider me sufficiently excited to swim a 50 back in a high profile meet!
