My goal this weekend was to see where I was in the 200fr before zones. I would like comments on my 200 time and splits based on my other times at the meet.
The meet went 500fr, 100fr, 50fr, 200fr fairly evenly split over a 3 hour meet. I wanted to get 200 time from my 500, but I ended up eating my goggles on the start, so I swam cruise 200, 200 back ez, 100 fr just not to get last. My 200 time stopping to put my goggles one was 2:19, but I don't think that means much.
100fr: 55.86
splits: 27.42, 28.44
50fr: 25.30
200fr: 2:04.54
100 splits: 1:00.04, 1:04.50
50 splits: 28.61, 31.43, 32.41, 32.09
I will comment on what I think of my times in another post. I am interested in all comments and criticisms. Something that is painfully obvious to you will be something I did not think of.
Agree w/ flyqueen. I don't know how you train, but based on your 50 free time, I'd think you'd be doing yourself a favor splitting mid-26 in the first 50 of the 100 free. All out on the 3rd 25 and bring it back with whatever is left.
I think your split distribution for the 200 are good. In the last 200 I did, 2 weeks ago, the first 50 was about 3sec faster than the second (same as you), and the last 3 50s were within 0.26 of each other. That race felt *fantastic* and I had just enough at the end to outtouch someone. So that's probably how I will try to swim the next 200, but I'm more of a sprinter and am still trying to figure out the 200. :2cents:
