OK enough of Amanda let's talk turkey..
Here is my latest 200 BR splits. Do you thnk I am taking it too easy in the middle?
42.19, 46.44, 46.16, 41.91 a faster back 100?
the previous was
40.84, 44.69, 45.11, 46.98
As with most 200 strategies, one is supposed to really push the 3rd 50 and hang on the 4th. Of course pushing that 3rd 50 REALLY hurts, and your split is still the same as the 2nd (ideally)... just not fair! That conditioning thing comes into play that 4th 50.
A few times in the past years I did not swim MY race as I was trying to beat a teammate or two. Kicked myself both times afterward! I took it out way too fast and didn't have the conditioning to bring it home... Must... be... patient.
