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 think a 200 may be a bit more anaerobic than a 400? If I can get myself to use it as a warm up, practice start and turns, I would be OK. But I know I can't do that.
I know it is crazy to go to a meet for basically one event, but I really need to get under a minute to reach my goal for this year. Next year I want to get under 55.
I will be doing a 500 for laughs after the 100, so I can expend what is left for that.
No it's not crazy! I've cruised in late to a meet for the purpose of swimming one event and then cheering for my teammates. Did a great time and had a blast. You go for that 100 free. That's your focus event for the season; that's what matters. I'd skip the 200 too, if I were you. It's too hard to restrain yourself from racing when you're in a real race. Good luck!
