Super fun Triathlon with my friend Jason Amrich yesterday: Mtn Bike, Downhill Ski and Golf. ...what a great day!

Concern: I felt like I could really feel the catch with the paddles but when I got to the 4x100 they were slow even though they felt like a strong effort. I assume fatigue / building strength with the paddles.

Response: Yes, it could be fatigue. Although paddles are great for enhancing strength they sometimes discourage feel for the feel for water because they are doing all the work in the feel department. However, I feel paddles can be huge benefit when you can take them off and focus on holding on to as much water with a great surface area through proper hand and forearm positioning. …it is too easy to just knife your hand and arm through the water when you don’t have paddles on.
