Barbara Hummel	Responded May 25, 2007 08:56AM Added a little bit of weight training for the upper body -- assisted pullups and dips and some stretch cord.
Bob Hopkins	Responded May 25, 2007 10:31AM Technique improvement. It is the biggest return on investment and you do not loose the skill developed in two weeks.
Paul Reeder	Responded May 25, 2007 11:48AM Allowing myself to just "let it run" and not hold back. I was always afraid to go out too fast and die. Sometimes this even translated to sprint events. So, when I finally just quit worrying and went after it, my speed was there.
Glenn Mills	Responded May 25, 2007 01:06PM Happened actually just the other day. I was swimming with my swimmers, and did a really fast 100 from a push. I think it was the fins and paddles, but I was kinda hoping I didn't have to mention those.
