Hey Folks,
I recently swam the 100 fly in a time of 1:02.30 (scy). My splits per 25 were the following:
13.30
15.40
16.70
16.90
I took it out in a 28.70, came back in a 33.60 but the 25 splits for my last 50 were even (16.70, 16.90). Any suggestions on a faster 50? Again, it wasn't like I swam the last 25 a lot slower.
Thanks.

Nice piece of statistics. I'm sure that some out there will find some deeper meaning. Meanwhile, I'm willing to bet that those that went out slower and came back faster felt much better post race.
Also congratulations to Greg Shaw (age 52), another NEM , for another display of great "flying" at USMS nationals (50/100 fly and smart enough to give the 200 a rest) and for his defeat of Jim McConica head-to-head in the 200 IM (also a new USMS record). Greg trains on his own and will be the first to admit that he is no expert in splitting a race.
PS: Bet you would have taken that first 50 out harder if Ron Karnaugh didn't break his hand the day before.
