OK, get the fly and free closer. How about back and ***? Where should they be in relation to the others? Should back be very close to free? I know *** is slower, but by how much? It seems I lost a ton on ***.
Here is where it can fluctuate a lot..... good/bad back/***.
As another rule of thumb... 15% for back and 25% for ***. So, the end splits would be 40, 46, 50, 40 for a 2:56 total. Modify by a few seconds if your back or *** is especially weak.
Practice your goal pace for 50s in workout for the different strokes to get the pace dialed in, then make it happen in your races.
These are mine from Austin:
1 27.45 27.45
2 59.41 31.96
3 1:34.00 34.59
4 2:01.43 27.43
