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.
Split are up for my 200:
Splits
Leg Cumulative Subtractive
1 28.52 28.52
2 59.93 31.41
3 1:31.85 31.92
4 2:04.00 32.15
My previous best was a 2:04.24, split 30.31 31.50 31.44 30.99. I need a 2:03.17. So where should I look for the extra second?
For reference, at the same meet I went a 25.29 50 vs. a PR of 24.79, and a 56.93 100 (27.50 29.43) vs. a PR of 55.46. I was seriously gassed in the 100.
I have my own possibly misguided ideas about where to find the second, but I am interested in your comments and suggestions. I may have an opportunity to take one last shot at a meet in Washington at the end of March.
