I am doing the 200 fly for the first time. RUH OH!!!
Former Member
It's gonna be next weekend on April 1 at the 2012 Pacific Masters SCY Champs in Moraga, CA.
Please help me out! What do I do? What's the best strategy? My 100 fly PB is 1:04.2, but my in-season time is currently at 1:08.86.
I will also be doing the 200 back and ***. I haven't done the 200 *** in ages. The last time I did it (Jan '11) was absolutely horrible- I got a 3:17 when my 100 time at the same meet was 1:29. My 100 time has since gone down to 1:17. I just really, really want to go under 3 minutes in the event. What do you guys think will help?
As for the 200 back, my PB in that event is a 2:31.72 from a taper meet last July. My converted scy time from a meet close to that one is about a 2:47, but I'm getting down pretty close, in the 100 at least, to my taper time at this stroke. Last month, I went 1:09.6, which was just a second off my taper time of 1:08.6.
All suggestions, strategies, condolences... are welcome! If I don't survive, James Thornton gets to have all my posts.
I'll be at the meet so see you there(I'm not going to Greensboro so it's my taper meet.) Since you are swimming the 200 BR also I have one word of advice for the 200 fly-"butterfrog."
You can start out fly but if you find you went out too fast or have a good BR kick switch to butterfrog,it beats going vertical.
