Breathing pattern for a 100 free?

Ack. It appears that I am going to have to break down and finally swim my first masters 100 SCY free at zones. Since I'm sure you all have done it many times, can someone please tell me what is the most ideal breathing pattern(s)? I noticed watching the World Championships that many of the 100 freestylers (especially the men) breathed almost every stroke, which is not how I used to swim that race. Were they breathing more to save for the SDKs? What say you freestyle sprinters?

    Fortress, best of luck on your 100 free swim! I'm swimming it too this month in a meet and for the 2nd time ever as a masters. Can't tell you how to breathe as I usually avoid it like the plague. It's about the hardest event out there in my opinion.
