I think you are about where I was a year ago. When you start hitting :30 on your 50s, I think you will be able to break 2:10 from a push in practice. You probably have a long stroke, so think about turn over during your sprints. A 3 second drop might be easier than you think.
Dead on, and I loved Syd throwing my words back at me :) .
I did some technique work recently and now on fast yardage 14 strokes/length with 2-3 SDKs feels great and hits the wall just right.
Tonight was too crowded to do any endurance work, so I did some fast 50s and 100s. I hit :29 pretty easily off the wall, which felt good. I did a 1:02 with two terrible turns and a 1:03 without killing myself, and without really utilizing my powerful legs. I'm optimistic :) (I've never broken a minute officially). And sprinting is WAY more fun than trying to get good at long distance. I've never sprinted much, so this is fun! And I look better than I actually am in workouts to all of the college girls, two of which I met last night!
