200 Challenge: Goal time, roadmap and status updates

I like to do 100s at second 100 pace.Allow enough rest to repeat at that speed.For 200 BR I think my perfect drop off is 4 sec so to swim 2:28 SCY I want to hold 100s at 1:16,but since I'll be shaved and tapered for the race 1:17 is OK. Yes, this is great advice. I do this myself. (So it has to be great advice then!):D Even if I can only complete two of them. Two is good enough for the 200, anyway. In fact I don't see any point in doing 100's any slower than your slowest 100 in the 200. Unless of course you are warming up or warming down or practicing for the 400. But it is draining physically and psychologically. Sometimes I am just too tired to do it. Then I might just swim a set of 10 X 100's on 1:30, and on the last one, I will give it all I have got and go for that second 100 of the 200 time.
