In running, front running is a perfectly acceptable racing tactic. It could actually be utilizing a strength. Is it the same in swimming? It seems like I've read a lot about negative splitting and pacing. Does anyone here front run? (I think I've seen Kate Zeigler employ that strategy ...) Do we have to commit to hurt or is it better to commit to pace? (Sorry if that sounded like a Sex & The City question.)
In my IMs, I commit to hurt. I always go out as fast as possible because I don't want to let those breaststrokers catch me. It's my only chance.
I had to chuckle when I read this because it sounded just like my son just before he did the 400 IM in his last meet.
