when I swim at a middle distance race pace, like if im doing 5 x 100 on a quick interval my muscles get tired faster than my heart. I wont even be breathing hard but my arms are tired and causes my stroke techinque to go bad quick. Does anyone else have this problem.

yeah I did just have a meet...two actually...one sunday and a double dual meet on monday.
We lost on Sunday, and we lost to the team that we wanted to beat on Sunday and killed the other team that was at that meet, so essentially, we lost all our meets.--well the women's squad did...the men won all three.
I won all my events, and I am athlete of the week for the college, and I was noted as the mvp-female of both meets...so that was good I guess, but my times are still subpar from where I would like to be.
On Sunday I swam: 50fly in the medley relay (27.5)
200 free (2:05.20)
100 fly (1:04.4)
On Monday I swam: 50 free (26.6)
100free (58.1)
100free anchor on the 400 free relay (58.4)
so yeah, I guess I am most disappointed with my 100free times, I haven't swam a 58 in like 3 years, and now I am stuck on it, last year during taper and shave I went a 55.0...I had been hoping that would drop even more this year, but...I just don't know, since I am now swimming slower than I had all season last year. My 200 time is also kinda disheartening, because I know I can go a 2:00.00 I really wanted to be under 2minutes this season...but that too...I just can't seem to move any faster...
boo.
