Dropped Wrists And Heroes
Here's a brief video clip of our Scull #1 drill to watch this week: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WYyowAvb5U
The focus here is what happens at 14 seconds in, when we see the problem with dropping your wrists that we discussed in last week's blog. Doing so in your stroke adds a lot of drag, and as we see in the clip, it pushes you backwards!
Also, we have two updates on athletes we interviewed earlier this year. If you want to be seriously inspired, check out:
Brad Hosking and 31 other American and Aussie firefighters completed their incredible Tour Of Duty Run Across America finishing in New York on September 11th. Check out the amazing scenes in this photo gallery.
(our original interview with Brad is here)
Mark Scanlon successfully completed his English Channel crossing in a storming 9½ hours in August. Read Mark's full report here - notice how smooth conditions were in those pictures - not!
(our original interview with Mark is here)
Amazing work guys - big big congratulations from us.
Swim Smooth!
