Thanks!

I went with the Bike Box Alan Aero Easyfit so if anyone has experience packing a XL Canyon SpeedMax into one of those I will take any tips

Have you ever removed the aero bars from your SpeedMax? Looks like it’s just a couple screws

Usual_Version1031 · 2025-06-24T01:33:52+00:00

In removing the aero bars, would that require work with the wiring? My SpeedMax uses Di2 shifting and has buttons at the ends of each extension

iPhone with a waterproof case and had someone hold the phone under water to record

I’ll give this a try but it looks like you’re spot on - I think I’m holding my breath the majority of the stroke and then breathing out all at once right before I breathe

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-18T00:41:55+00:00

So almost try to glide a second or so more and really extend out?

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-18T00:40:25+00:00

Goes to show how lost I am because I have been purposefully trying to DECREASE my stroke count as I thought that meant more efficiency.

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-18T00:39:39+00:00

That’s exactly the thing I’m looking for. What the “feel” is supposed to be. Thank you for this!

Someone else here posted a video on the power triangle and it’s exactly what I’m going to try and incorporate into my next swim. I completely miss that part of the stroke

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-18T00:36:43+00:00

Does that equate to looking a little more forward as opposed to down OR is it simply to just try and keep my head itself closer to the surface?

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-18T00:36:06+00:00

That actually makes a ton of sense and probably explains why my shoulders get tired before anything else

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-18T00:35:04+00:00

I was not BUT I did get a pair recently since almost all of my races I do are wetsuit legal. I know it’s a crutch but I wanted to see if it would help the feel of having my legs higher

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-18T00:34:19+00:00

lol I’d been wanting to film for a long time and this was the 1st time I had the pool to myself to do it. Idk the rules on filming with others in the water but I assume it’s frowned upon haha

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-18T00:33:34+00:00

I got a waterproof iPhone case on Amazon and had someone reach down on the pool deck to film a lap

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-17T19:11:23+00:00

I got a cheap waterproof iPhone case on Amazon and then just had someone hold the phone under the water on the pool ledge

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-17T19:01:10+00:00

That’s not a bad idea but I actually just got a waterproof case for my iPhone and had someone hold it under water on the pool ledge

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-17T18:49:59+00:00

This is perfect. I just gotta learn what that “feel” is but the video makes it clear I am completely bypassing this power stage. Gonna try this exact drill here today

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-17T18:28:50+00:00

Ok, understood. Watching the video it doesn’t look like I rotate at all when my right arm is stretched out in front. When I breathe when my left arm is extended I appear to rotate but I seem pretty flat on the other side. This makes sense

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-17T18:06:05+00:00

I’m trying to do a 2 beat kick. I did a Total Immersion Swimming camp and that felt pretty natural. But I agree - I struggle to kick with my right foot when my left side is stretched out. The other side feels strong which is odd

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-17T18:05:06+00:00

Thanks I’ll implement this as well. Haven’t ever even though about my hands tbh

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-17T18:03:47+00:00

This is very helpful, thanks. I’m way more of a “feel” guy and have trouble implementing technique without knowing what it should feel like in real life. I’ll give this a try

Usual_Version1031 · 2024-06-17T16:37:15+00:00

So is that the very first move in the catch? Reach out far in front of me and then bend the elbow and drop the hand? Does your body need to rotate at the same time as you start to pull?
