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.
depends on a lot of things.
are you tempted to go after your 200 free too? you may want to swim it long and strong and not go balls to the wall on the first 50 like I would do.
A 50 won't kill you. I love 50s and how they get me revved up for other events. Use it to get the blood flowing and set a tone for your 100;
folks are correct to mention warmdowns. with little rest, i'd personally do a 2x{4x50 on ~15sec rest warmdown, 1st 50 like 80% and work your way slower to #4, then do it again. or something where I am working turns, or 1/2 build 25s.
