looks to me like you should start out even easier
then attempt to hold a better average pace
ie go out in 38 then hold 42's
your 2nd 1500 should have felt way better than your first
hopefully your 3rd will be better and faster
looks to me like you attempted to hold a pace
faster than you really could
so you fell off
cruise the 1st 100 super easy then
hold the same pace for the next 1300 then
finish the last 100 with what ever's left
find the pace you can consistently swim the
26 50s after you''ve done your first 100
keep all the times within 0.25 - 0.50
look at how consistent these guys are

I swam the 1500 (SCM) about 10 weeks apart and ended with almost identical times (0.35 faster today) in spite of the training I've been doing in the meantime. In today's race I followed a strategy of intentionally going slower at the beginning. Maybe I've hit my peak for my age. Somewhere after 1000 meters I remember thinking "I am never swimming this race again". We'll see!
