2013 Gold Esperanto Invite - @ Cumming Aquatic Center, Dec 13-15
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Brett
200 Medley : 2:43.52 - just started testing his bad shoulder with some limited two arm fly. This will be the only fly he swims during the meet
50 Free : 31:07 – Wants to get sub 31…
200 Free : 2:21.21 – Don’t think he can drop time in this one again…not yet.
100 Back : 1:18.67 – Arm rotation count is the key…
100 Breast : 1:20.44 – Coming off a bad time at the last meet in this one.
100 Free : 1:06.24 – He thinks that he can improve here based on some interval times he’s hit in practice
200 Back : 2:38.71 – See 100 Back
200 Breast : 2:51.60 – Big drop in the last meet, not sure he can improve on that, especially late in the weekend
1650 Free : NT – He’s in the mile, and honestly I think he’s a reserved excited. After his good swim in the 1000 last meet, he immediately asked his coach to do this one …he could do pretty well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bear
200 Medley : 2:52.71 – with improved strokes all around, I expect a drop here
50 Free : 30.11 – One of the coaches tweaked the way Bear breathes on the Free and his times in intervals have been dropping. If he can do it in a race, might go sub 30…
1000 Free : 12:59.00 – This is a made up time, to ensure Bear got to swim this event…Coach thinks the improved breathing technique might by itself lead to a 15 second drop in this event
400 Medley : 5:59.00 – This is a made up time, not sure what to expect, I doubt his form will hold through this entire event.
200 Free : 2:23.73 – Went 2:18 in an interval at the end of a 2 hour practice, then followed it up with a 2:24 after an 18 second rest.
200 Back : 2:45.26 – All about body position for Bear. If his legs are in the right spot he’ll drop time
50 Breast : 45.82 – His Breast has improved a bunch, should drop time here.
200 Breast: 3:18.36 – This time included a stop on the last 50 in the middle of the pool. If he swims through should drop time and maybe get a state cut
100 Free : 1:06.52 – Another area where Breathing changes could make a big impact.
100 Breast : 1:35.73 – End of the meet swim, not sure how much he’ll have left.
200 Fly : NT – This could be torture at the end of the meet…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bailey
200 Medley : 2:42.17 – She expects a drop here
50 Free : 30.19 – Doesn’t talk about her Free much right now, so not sure where she stands on this one.
1000 Free : NT – currently two swimmers from getting into this event. I think she’ll have to swim it though, she’s apprehensive…
200 Free : 2:31.13 – See the 50 Free, but her increased practice reps, should result in an improvement here.
200 Back : 2:43.82 – Says her back is getting better…
200 Fly : NT – Anxious about swimming this one, but Coach told her that if she swims it the way he expects, she could challenge the sectional cut…he expects her to get the state cut. Did work with her on Breathing every other stroke on fly for this race in particular.
400 Medley : NT – swam it in long course, and has been chomping at the bit to do it short course. For a girl that doesn’t like long swims, she is pumped for this one.
100 Free : 1:07.57 – Don’t know what to expect, but a guess would be about a full second drop.
100 Back : 1:16.96 – see 200 Back
100 Breast : 1:34.77 – she might be finally ready to break her really old Personal Best here…
50 Fly : 32.99 – Even at the end of the meet, I think she’ll drop time here.
