How do they relate to race times?
I did a broken 200 IM in practice the other day, took a 80 second rest between 50's while swimming and easy 50 free. Swam each 50 as i wold in the race. Fly was long and rythmic. Back was mostly arms breathing as much as possible. *** was all out, free all out.
Went in order:(push starts on all)

Any guesses how that might translate to tapered, shaved, race suited, etc...?

Depending on how intense the taper and if the taper was done properly, but you can typically take 1.50 - 2.00 off your average 50 time (race time throughout the year). Again, this varies per individual, coach, pool, time in the pool, etc.
Also, that broken practice seems a bit leniant to be thinking about tapering right now...just my opinion!
Keep us updated on your progress, though!
