200 Challenge: Goal time, roadmap and status updates
Former Member
This thread is for people to post their goals for the 200 (in any stroke), outline how they plan to get there, progress updates and to get feed back on their plans and updates.
Goal: 200 fly 2:18.99 SCM (1:07 + 1:11), 2:24.99 LCM (1:10 + 1:14)
Progress: Did not hit the LCM goal this year. I went 2:25 which was an improvement over last year's 2:28, but not quite as fast as I'd like. I lost a second on that last 50. :badday: I didn't have a large enough training base. I shaved but did not taper; I did what some would refer to as a mini-taper. So now I'm building a larger fly base for the SCM season, swimming 500-1000 yards of full stroke fly each workout. I have planned out when I will do peak training, when I will do a full taper, and when I will swim that 2:18.
