I only know of one person who can "sprint" an entire 200 fly and that is Alison Zamanian. The girl, admittedly, does not ever pace anything, she only has one speed, fast. I've known her for 16 years and it's always been this way.
I didn't look up her splits from this weekend, but she was unhappy with her 200 fly. At our Pac Champs I think she went 2:09. She was happy with her 100 fly later, 58.8 (I think).
I don't know why people gun the first 100, they KNOW what will happen. Any theories on this?
**Went back and looked up her splits: 28.08-32.04-34.56-36.65 2:11.32
(I like the 3456 time- how often does that happen?!)
My theory is that if I go out slow on the first 100, I will go even slower on the second 100. Here are the splits from my 100 and 200 LCM fly at a USA-S meet recently(May 2-3, 09)
100 fly 1:08.67
33.04 35.63
200 fly 2:28.59
32.89 36.59(1:09.44) 38.91 40.20
