Back to your original question, my IM is comparable in speed to yours. For what it's worth, here's my splits from an unrested SCM meet last December.
Colburn, Carrie 33 Nwsc-Im-IL
3:07.38
42.23 1:33.31 (51.08) 2:26.74 (53.43) 3:07.38 (40.64)
I am not a flyer or a backstroker or (anymore) a breaststroker. I am definitely a drop dead sprinter. Perhaps the 200 IM is not my strong suit? :) But it is a fun race. By comparison, my 200 free is somewhere in the upper 2:30's for SCM, though it's been a looooong time since I've swam it SCM.
I think you killed yourself with that fly split. Make sure you breathe enough on the fly!! It is so tempting to take it out without enough air. Then it just looks like you paid for it on the rest of your race.
You should really think about swimming the 50 fly at your next meet! I bet you might surprise yourself. :)
