Well, my opinion is that if you're 200m Free is 2:50 then a 3:06 200m IM is not out of whack. But I think you can swim both faster. 2:50 for the 2Free is averaging 42.5 seconds per 50 or 1:25 per 100. I would be also interested in seeing your 2Free splits.
Given that info, I think that you took the Fly out too fast and used up your legs. Splitting the back 13 seconds higher than the Fly means that you were really gassed. That should be more like 5-7 seconds. I would try to split a 38-39 front Fly and get your Back split down to a 44 or so.
It would really helpful if you could post your best 50 times for all 4 strokes that way we could evaluate the difference in times between the 2IM splits and each strokes 50.
