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!
breathe often
save your legs for the 2nd 100
fast turns excellent push offs
great touch
splitting:
keep your 100's with in 2 - 4 seconds
keep your 2nd, 3rd & 4th 50's even or descended
Hoffman, an interesting formula, I wonder how it applies to other swimmers. I will see for myself this coming weekend; I hope to go out smooth, build the next 50, push the 3rd, and then all out the fourth - appreciate your thoughts about splits; we'll see how I do.
