I'm not too worried about the turning aspects...just a little unsure of what to do at the backstroke to *** turn.
Also any good workouts for this?
I'm doing 900 free for warm up (0-1650 in 6 weeks) then trey to do another 1500 per workout.
I've obviously been hitting *** but want to get some fly and back work in as well as turns--obviously I can always go to the wall and touch then turn but that's inefficient.
Is doing a 100 IM then hitting sets of 50 of fly and back or what? I've ordered a couple of books for reference and they should get here shortly.
Any thoughts or articles?

Peter.....you must have taken that photo at that meet.....when I was actually at my fighting weight!
Being serious for just a minute...so as not to take fire from the Geek...all the workouts/sets are fine....but sprints take race pace practice and none more so then the 100IM....with 3 different turns to be prepared for the loss of tenths adds up quickly...get on the blocks and do race pace work and swim the event at several meets prior to a nationals if you can.
Nationals...you flatter me sir. I will have 1 maybe 2 meets before Zones. I do seem to do marginally better in real races.
My workout week swill stack thus:
Mon. *** Drills Focus
Wed. IM Focus Fly, Back and Turns. Free
Fri. *** Event Focus. Sprints of all.
