question on the IM

I was driving home today and started pondering about the 200 im suppose for a moment in the 200 IM you got to choose where you put each stroke in the race there's 24 different ways to do it what do you think would create the fastest over all time would Fly Back *** Free be the fastest combo for you? If not what would? Why? personally I'm thinking Fly *** back free would be fastest for me Probably Back Free *** Fly would be slowest What about you Anyone got any comments? Ande Rasmussen

  • you know it might be good to put free 2nd or 3rd because then you'd get to flip the transition turn, it just worries me to put *** at the end, because your speed could really drop off as fatigue increases and power fades. ande Originally posted by Scansy OK, here it is. I would do fly, back, free then ***. Here's why ... The fly and back wipe me out. But I can recover pretty well on the free without slowing down too much. Then, I would have something left to do a good push off/pull down in the ***. I have been working on that and I can make up time on that. This would be even better if this was for short course - I get an extra pull down.
