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!
I prefer the 1500 over the 200 but from what I always here from different coaches is that you go fast technique for the first 75 (1-3 lengths) build the next 50 (4 - 5 lengths) and go all gangbusters with everything you got for the last 25.
As the other poster pointed out people either die after the first 75 or pull back too much saving for the last 25.
