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'm assuming you have more 200s planned for the future?
Then you should try something which will not destroy you, :cane:
so you can build from that experience in future races.
Pace the first 100, then swim the end like it is a 100.
So that last 100 should be pace the first half, and swim the last 50.
Which means pace the first 25, and see what you have for the last 25.
;)
