  • Looking at Robert's 200m free splits they remind me of the sort of splits I was doing before someone convinced me that I could take it out harder and just how hard and "painful" a 200 is supposed to be. When I really went after it and ignored the fact I felt like I was dying I dropped several seconds. But I also realized the 200 is really unpleasant! Yea, I heard an elite swimmer say that he was blacking out in the last 50 of his 200. I've never gone there.....yet.
