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!
Lightning,
You've never raced a 100 or 200 free?
What do you do a 200 in from a push in practice?
Did you swim when you were young? If so when did you stop?
You can't guess how to go out the day of the meet.
I swim the same 50 free time and am not anywhere close to Pwolf's split stratagy. I was going around 2:25 last year. If I were you I would go out in 33, 35, 35, ?
To swim the 200 right you should be near blackout in the last 25 and have trouble getting out of the pool.......fun right?
When I swam my first 200 I went out in 29 and swam a 2:50. It was not pretty. That's what happens when you go out too hard.
