"that was stupid because it takes more energy to get back to the speed you were at."now i realize that is true and it isnt smart to THINK that you can save your energy for later. this has to do with inertia because it takes more FORCE as we learned in chapters 5&6 to change speeds. silly me, now that is what i think when i want to give up and just try at the end---SANDBAGGER. >.< BUT this time i had a reason because i was super tired already then we had class day then the meet. so i was very sick to the stomach and tired. haha. good thing i skipped morning practice that day! haha. anyways...was my coach wrong in using the term energy?

inertia overcomes mind
Okay so AFTER class day, we had a senior meet at CORP. twas very windy and cold. anyways so i was swimming 200 back and well i take out the first 50 with the momentum i get from my dive. so its supposedly the fastest 50 of the 200 . then i usually balance out in the 2nd 50 and sometimes when i get lazy, i rest the 3rd 50 and "save" my energy for the 4th 50. okay well this is very bad thing to do and my disappointed coach would say,

what an interesting topic. i like the inertia realization because it's such a personal insight and it seems to make perfect sense to me too. thanks for explaining some of the "behind-the-scenes" stuff to swimming the 200.
i think energy was correctly used. You had to do extra work to change your KE. congratulate your coach.
