Swimming my first 1000 free Sunday. How should this be paced based on the 500? If I average 1:14's for the 500, can I hold this or will breakfeast reverse on me?
I'll be doing the 1,000 along with you on Sunday. I usually attempt even splitting my 500's. Try and keep your stroke long throughout the swim. Don't rush your stroke. You can also try and descend by 250's. It helps to break up the swim.
Good luck with the swim at see you at the pool.
If this is your 1st one, swim at a controlled pace...one that doesn't feel like you are doing to hurl after the 200. Maybe try to buid each 100 after the 500
Build each 100 but only descend the last 100? Keep the rest even?

Good advice. See you there!
One thing I try in the 500 is to keep the stroke count the same so I establish a rythm with my turns. Toward the end of a 500 I start getting close to needing an extra stroke. I think I will try to hold the stroke count.
Swim the first 500 in a comfortable, controlled pace. The second 500, feel like you are building each 100 within that 500. Feel as though you maybe negative splitting the race. You dont want to go out so fast that each 100 gets a lot slower.
The idea here is that even though I feel like I am negative splitting, I may not be and it will end up even?
I find if I try to keep my stroke count and build the second half, I'm pretty close to even splitting. If you get short coming into the walls, remember to kick off your turns. Don't panic with the swim. Try and enjoy your first 1,000. There will be 39 others along with you.
Good luck on your 1000. don't got out too hard on the first 500 and then pick it up from there. Since this is your first one, just use this as trial and error so you will know what to or not to do on your next 1000.

Better yet, have your head checked to make sure you don't have brain damage and then decide if you want to swim it.
The 500 didn't cause any brain damage......will the 1000?
Well, Geek likes to swim the 1000...I will let you determine you answer based on that fact. :)
