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.
Well,
I scratched the 200, but did the 50. It was a good warmup and I had plenty of recovery.
Unfortunately for the 100 free, I fell short of my 60 sec. goal and went 1:01.75. I feel I am struggling on the last 25. Plus I had a few poor hand entries where my hand hydrofoiled in the wrong direction, which I think affected me (I think every hand entry is critical in sprinting...no?). Turns were sub par and still need allot of work. Overall I am happy. Skipping the 200 was the right thing to do.
Here is my 100 free progression. I graphed it and it is still linear, which is incouraging for me.
Date (time)
4/2/2006 (70.24)
4/30/2006 (68.76)
1/21/2007 (64.00)
3/11/2007 (63.22)
4/28/2007 (61.75)
