Some habits are hard to break....


The article “The Unathletic Department” that I chose for last week’s blog was something that I think that everyone could relate to. While the feelings throughout the article were familiar to me, the subject was foreign.  The article was about finishing last in the 500 freestyle swim meet and the 500 freestyle meet was something I needed to understand.  What I discovered was the 500 freestyle meet is a 500 yard swim that you have to use the perfect technique for balancing your energy. A swimmer can’t start out with too much speed because of the use of too much energy and also shouldn’t start the race to slow because they may not be able to catch up. My first instinct is to “Google” it to get a quick and clear answer, however I am supposed to also you the Kent Library.  Google was definitely quicker and easier to work but the library was just as efficient.
