1st 1000 free. Need advice.

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?

  • Thanks for the good advice. I am sandbagging just a bit because I did not want to be in the final heat since I am also swimming the next event. I will tip off my lane mates before the race. Sandbagging a sprint is no big deal, but in an aerobic effort, it is nice to what people around you are going to do. My first 1000 in a meet, my goggles fell off, and I threw them away. In a 1000, I would stop and put them back on!
