I am planiing to swim this in a few weeks. I will be 50 in a few months and want to at least try for the National qualifying time of 5:50. Just curious from those who can swim this race in this time range. I will need to average 35 seconds for my 50s obviously but worry that it might be too fast for me.
I can probably swim a 1:02-1:05 for my SCY hundred free but I have a feeling that I will need to be able to swim a 55:00 for my 100 free to be able to maintain that 35 per 50 pace.
If you have done this, what is your hundred free time? What is your race strategy?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I breathe every stroke, I'm way under 5:50 as are most of my teammates who blow me away on the 500. Bilateral breathing is for the birds and I don't believe it makes a lick of difference if that's how you always train and race.
