I've never raced a 200, or even a 100 FR; my 50 FR SCY is 26.8.
I'm in a USA meet Sept 20th - expecting to get trounced by kids half my age, but still I want to put in a good showing.
How should I race? What should my 50 pace be? How do I not die on the last 50? etc...
I'm 44, male, swimming masters only 2 years, still learning lots, and open to all feedback - thanks!
My strategy is to go out hard but not all out and work up to the 3rd 50. The key is that 3rd 50. Others will start to fade then so if you save some for that time and go all out the last 50, you will be in good shape.
