Don't have much meet experience. Going to the yonkers meet next weekend.
If I swim a 200 free first event, then a 50, will it ruin my 100 free if I want a PB in the 100 free? Assume 20 minutes between the 200 and 50 and 30 minutes between the 50 and 100.

I am not sure about the sprints after 200 but I had different experiences. Most of my events are opened up with either a 400IM or 200Fly (followed by either a 200 fly or 400 IM depending which opens the first with just one vent in between). My experience is that even though I got pretty tired after my first event, and my mind says that how on earth I could do the second, but once I jumped into the water, my strokes were actually more relaxed than I thought and I always ended up with pretty good times for those second events.
