this Saturday and achieve fame, fortune, the accolades of my peers . . . and my true goal, an NQT. I need a 2:03.
50 PR is 24.79
100 PR is 55.46, split 26.55 28.91
200 PR is 2:04.24, split 30.31 31.50 31.44 30.99
I took that out too slow, but I've been gun-shy after this debacle:
2:06.86, split 29.06 30.79 33.15 33.86
I consoled myself by blaming that race on the altitude (we were at 3,000 or so and I swim at sea level), but it still hurts to look at.
I think the best 200 I ever split was SCM a year and a half ago:
2:19.90, split 33.17 35.46 35.49 35.78
I'm thinking that I need to be just under 1:00 for the 100 and bring it home from there? Can I even get to a 2:03 from my 50/100 times?
Thanks for the help.
john's right on the money
he was a 1:35 200 freestyler back in the day
Looking at your times
if you go 24.79 in the 50
in the 100 you should
go out in 25.79 and come home in at least 27.79
to go 53.58
you need to be more aggressive in the 100 fr you can go way faster than 55.46
your 2:04.24 200 where you split 30.31 31.50 31.44 30.99
I believe you can go
27.7 29.9 29.9 29.9
your splitting is pretty correct
my guess is you're afraid of dying so you took it too easy on the front end of your race
the 200 is a controlled sprint
don't kill yourself on the 1st 100
keep your 100's 1, 2, 3, or 4 seconds apart
finally to answer your Q
I'm thinking that I need to be just under 1:00 for the 100 and bring it home from there?
yes and you've got the speed to do go
Can I even get to a 2:03 from my 50/100 times?
Absolutely with out a doubt
take your 100 time double it and add 10 seconds
drop dead sprinters add 12 - 14
distance demons add 4 - 6
ie if you went 54.9 you should be able to break 2:00
