I'm interested to know what kind of workouts people are doing who are preparing for 200 back, long or short course. I'm interested primarily because I'm pretty much incapable of approaching the distances and volume that Ande has been doing recently. What are the rest of you doing? Are you gunning for a top 10 time, a National Qualifying Time, a PB, or are you just trying to stave off a precipitous decline in speed? What is the longest interval you'll do with any frequency? Do you ever get up to the 800's that Ande is posting?

  • I swam a 200y back for time as part of practice tonight. 2:24. I have no idea how to swim that thing. From my glance at the clock before my turn, I suspect I was out in ~1:10-11ish. The blue muppet destroyed me.:agree: Its not getting me down, though, cause I feel like I can learn how to swim it properly. Its a very far-fetched challenge.
