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.
Well done, everyone, and sorry I didn't bump into any of you! I looked, but apparently in the wrong places.
I was a model of consistency today, scoring within hundreths of what I did last year. I guess that is better than doing worse!
I am glad (?) to hear you say that you were cold -- good to know it wasn't just me. Everyone around me kept saying how much nicer it was today. Yeah, it was nice to have it be sunny and not get rained on, but I still froze my :mooning:off. I've done this meet other years where it was beastly hot and we were all huddled in the shade. You never know what you're going to get in CA.
Good tip about the Quicksilver meet... I hadn't heard about that one. Maybe I'll see if I can make that.
