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 swimming some sets of 200's might help you. It seems like your speed is progressing just fine but you are running out of gas perhaps. I can say with certainty that swimming 200's has made my 100's seem like a cake walk anymore. I took my 100 repeat time and doubled it for 200's. For example, if you are swimming 100's on 1:30 then you would do 200's on 3:00. You don't need to do 8 or 10 of them, but even a few will help your body develop beyond what swimming the shorter distances will. IMHO anyhow.
