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!

Thanks Geek and PWBrundage for the great advice!
On the dolphin kicks, I'm not that strong, so I should focus on very tight streamlines and push-offs instead (when I'm tired they can get sloppy). I like the pacing suggestions, but I still am learning how my target times feel during each split, i will give it a try. Stay long and strong, and then build... I do breathe a lot, but I often forget to kick much.
Thanks again!
