Ok, it appears that the lower back issues I have been experiencing are slowly getting better so it looks like my 100 Fly in 9 days is back on the menu.
Now, how should I swim this? Since all I have done in the past is sprint distance fly (in 100 IM and only 50s of each course), I have no CLUE how to swim this. All I want to do is finish (not sure if my inner monster is with that plan tho).
How long should I stay under at the start? Off each turn? Breathe every stroke? Every other? Keep the legs soft on the front 50 then bring them in on the back half?
Help, I don't want to :drown: or :eeew:
My 2 cents for what it's worth: I try to swim the first 75 fast, but focus on having a long and strong stroke. The last 25 I give max effort and I'm breathing heavy at the finish and my whole body is spent. I'm guessing the sdk's will depend upon what you're conditioned for and if you can do them faster than you can do full stroke. I can get about 8 off the start, and between 3-5 off the walls. My advice may not be worth much as right now I'm struggling with a sub :56 myself.
