Any of you 400 IMers out there, any ideas or thoughts on racing strategy?
I'm in decent shape but was sure as heck never a 400 IMer (never did it as a kid and have done it twice as a masters). Did a 4:56 during winter training season and not killing myself. Just swam it smooth. Plan on possibly swimming it in a few weeks (also unrested/ untapered.) Just want to swim the darn thing. I may even just wear my practice suit. Am a flyer and freestyler. Been working on back and *** (not too much.)
Ideas? Negative split each 100 of each stroke? Is that a bad race strategy? I'm just so clueless on this event.
Thanks!
I like the 400IM but am not good at it by any stretch of the imagination.
My hubby is though. He negative splits every 100, except maybe the fly, 'cause of the start.
I usually negative split it or come close, but again, I'm not the guru.
