A few of us around the Masters pool have been discussing the order of IM and how it affects your overall performance, stamina, etc. in the event.
The question is if you could choose any order that you like, which order would you choose and why? How do you think your times would be affected?
Has any body ever experimented and what were the results?
PS-You are not allowed to take out any of the strokes (in other words, you must still do breaststroke).

I personally would like to see breaststroke first to get it over with. I always got killed on the bck half of IMs b/c of breastroke. By the time freestyle rolls around I lose all momentum and finish weak. Would rather start weak with breaststroke switch to free, then fly then finish strong with backstroke.
I may try it this week in practice for grins...
