I swam in a non-santioned meet Sunday (short course meters). I did a 25 *** in 17.63, and in the 50 a 39.71. Given my 25 time, should my 50 time be better? The 25 has almost no aerobic demand. I always heard multiply by 2.2, which would equate to 38.786.
Both races had decent starts and I thought I did a pretty good turn on the 50.
I guess the real question I am asking is if this likely has to do with not being conditioned enough to swim a faster 50.
Clarification: These were separate races...the 25 time was NOT a split for the 50.
If the first 25 of the 50 was about the same as the 25 there is nearly a 4.5 sec difference between the first and second 25s. That seems like a lot. It generally shouldn't be much over 2 sec. It could be a conditioning problem.
