Embarassed to ask this simple question! Does it mean “any stroke other than the front crawl”?

Yes, this is a terrific opportunity! Seeing the course ahead of time has always been a big help, and now I have it scheduled rather than scrambling around to fit it at the last minute. Nice going DC Tri!

Barbara Fichman replied to the topic Clinic Day Agendas – March 3 & March 10 in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 2 months ago
Yes, as one repeating the Olympic distance program can attest, the clinic days are AWESOME. For me, the swim stroke analysis was particularly helpful.
One “lesson learned” is that, for clinics on the pool balcony, it’s warm and humid there, so you might want to wear light clothing for those.

Barbara Fichman replied to the topic Kick Off Meeting – Monday! in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 2 months ago
I used a very low-tech approach involving the second hand on my watch. I tried to take 45 steps (with each foot) in 30 seconds and once I did that, I tried for 90 steps in 60 seconds. Once I could do it, I’d check to be sure I was running 30 steps every 20 seconds and speed up if necessary. I stopped listening to music as I ran, because counting…[Read more]

Barbara Fichman replied to the topic Kick Off Meeting – Monday! in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 2 months ago
Thanks for the Kick-off meeting AJ and assistants to AJ! Very helpful to go over all of that information. The chart showing that 90-100 steps per minute is the most efficient was interesting and also what I experienced when I put it into practice last year — I could feel how much faster and easier it is to run at that rate of turnover. I…[Read more]
