I'm new to masters this year and have had two meets since January. The first 500 was 5:50 and the second one was 5:51. I can't hold on to my pace after 350. I'm 49 and am working out 5 days a week. Most days are 3000 yards. Once a week I go 4000 yards. Most of my workouts are 250-500 yard swims, with some 100's on 1:30. I can go 6:10 in the middle of practice without killing myself. Why can't I do better in a meet? In meets my first 100 is 1:03 and at 200 at 2:11. Why the fall off? Any meet nutruition ideas? Workout ideas? Pacing ideas?
Congratulations!
Way to go!
You seriously dropped your time
What were your splits?
In early December, all of my dedication to swimming paid of by setting a pending Iowa Master record in the 500 free. (50-54) My time was 5:26.91. The previous record set in 1998 was 5:30.86. I want to thank all of you for your help! I also want to thank my swimming partner and coach, Roger Madden.
