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!
