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 can relate to your pacing. You took this race out like you were going to swim it in a 2:10 or better. Better pacing could have yielded a better time, but so could better conditioning. Put them both together and you will be happy with the results.
Swimming lots of 200's, 250's, and 300's in practice will help.
