200 Breaststroke time

Looking for help on estimating a time. If my 100yard breaststroke time is 1:09.4, what would you predict for a 200yard breaststroke time? I know it depends if I'm more sprint or distance oriented, a range is fine, but I'd say I'm in the middle of the road in terms of endurnce.

    OK to keep the thread going. I did my 200 at Zones thusly: 37.90 1:19.05 (41.15) 2:02.92 (43.87) 2:45.47 (42.55) OK did the 100 today... :36.x and :41.x for a 1:17.71--started too slow you think? You can see some of the 200 BR on Jim Thornton's log forums.usms.org/blog.php it's in the comments! If i recall correctly, your 50 is a 34.x. I almost think that first 50 can be a 35, but you split it correctly. I did the 100 2 weeks ago and I split 30.x and a 33.x, but im a much better back end swimmer. I usually dont get my top speed till im 35 or 40 yards into a race.
