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.
Great ,fantastic:banana::banana:.That is a very good time for a first 200 fly.Cold was right.I froze on the way from the warmups to the lockers.I was is the 50 BR (second event after the 100 Free.I stayed bundled up until 1 heat before mine,then I wore my boots and parka to the blocks and didn't take them off til the long whistle.Something worked as I went faster than last year at Mesa in much better conditions(31.14 down from 31.27.)Sorry to deflect a minute to crow,your 200 Fly was great :cheerleader:.
