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!
Two things. Looking at your times you seems to die pretty bad. I suggest trying to hold that second 50 pace (35-36), and then see about a 33 or 34 at the end.
Second, on your dolphin kicking thing. I see this all the time. Unless you are really good at it I wouldn't focus on doing them. If you do them wrong they will slow you down and wear you out.
Good luck, you've already shown nice improvement.
