You know you're a breaststroker when...

50FR :32; 100FR 1:25; 200FR 2:46 (OK the 200 was from a dive at NEM--but still) My BR times: 50BR :35ish; 100 1:20ish; 200 3:00ish (With goggle malfunction) I wonder if the pacing strategy in *** is significantly different than in free. It is difficult to see how you can do a 32 50 and a 1:25 100 unless you are taking it far too easy in the 100, which is confirmed by the fact that you swam your 200 at a faster average pace than your 100! I only recently discovered that you should swim the first 50 of your hundred at almost the same pace as your 50 race, probably with the same effort, just not restricting your breathing as much. I bet you would swim under 1:15 if you went out harder.
