How do I make friends with this race? It always hurts. I have tried to go out slowly, but then I just slow down. I know I should pay attention to my pace, but this flies out the brain when I race. I am not a seasoned racer. At practice I pay attention to pace looking at clock but do not "feel" it. Should I just accept 1000 hurts, and swim it as fast as I can? This is my best event, but I am not loving it as I swim it.

the 1,000 free is EVIL
it will never be your friend
stick with sprints
Ande
if you can swim it during a coffee break....it is a sprint.
and at 5 dollars per event (in most meets), its also one of the better values in competitive swimming. .5 cents per yard
