I’m trying to maintain my taper from USMS LCM Nationals so that our women’s 200+ medley relay can make another attempt to break the world record for our age group. We just missed it at Nationals, and we’ve been trying to arrange a time trial (easier said than done for LCM in New England in September). So we’ve all been trying to hold on to our tapers. I’ve been doing a lot of tether work, and today did this practice, focusing on fast 50s.
