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 signed up to do a 200 IM at the Illinis state meet. I haven't swam it in a long time. I've been doing Mel's workout on this site. they've helped me with the event so far. It just burns my old asthmatic lungs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My biggest problem is knowing when to stop kicking underwater during the transitions. On a 100 IM, I start with 12 underwater kick for fly. What about 200IM? Should ther be fewer? and the same with ***?
