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.
this is how not to do a 200 fr
In 1984 I did a 200 LCM fr
splitting it
55.0 1:03.8 for a 1:58.8
the first 100 needs to be easy speed
save your legs
breathe plenty
In 1981 I did a 200 LCM fly
splitting it
1:00 1:17 for a 2:17
that last 100 was UGGGLLLEEE and PAINFUL
the first 100 needs to be easy speed
save your legs
breathe plenty
be relaxed
stay smooth
remember
if you try to pick it up
you'll shut down
