I think a lot of it is experience, but you can probably do some things in training to help. Really focus on getting out strong and then trying to hold that pace. It might be useful to find the point where you can't keep the pace anymore and die on the last 50. When you find that, just back off slightly.
Yeah I think that's a good point for a no coach swimmer.
Chlorini's intimidation thing is partly right. I remember the first times in training and at meets where I died doing a 3:20 or something.
Now I get out from the BR200 and I don't feel hammered. If I do 200 FR I feel hammered.
However, positive view, I've been working on my technique and it's gotten better, and my times have dropped too...maybe now is the time to get the engine building bit going...maybe I can tighten up the BR200 challenge Kirk?
