For some reason or another I have become and IMmer. Why I'm not exactly sure, I guess I like a challenge. I have always been a sprinter so this idea of there being a strategy to a race is new to me. I am however signed up for some 200 and 400 IMs at future meets. (I am able to handle these distances) But my question is what exactly should my race strategy be on a 200 IM? A 400 IM?
Thanks!
I always cruise the fly and negative split the rest of the race. That works for me. I've tried it many different ways. I've taken the fly out in 1:03, did well in the middle 200 and died in the free, like I always do. It's the bane of my existence! With your great free, you'll do well in the IM's.
I've always enjoyed the 400 because it's like an obstacle course-and the lead frequently changes :) (except when Nadine is swimming!).
Have fun :)
