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 update:
Goal 1:50 SCY or equivalent.
Latest swim at regional meet:
This year 1:52.51
25.86 54.11 (28.25)
1:23.62 (29.51) 1:52.51 (28.89)
Last year at same meet for comparison 26.77 29.22 (55.99) 29.15 (1:25.14) 28.30 for 1:53.44
So this year I took it out much harder (which I have to do to get closer to my goal) but had a slightly weaker back half. 3rd 50 was too much of a fall off from the 2nd. But this gives me confidence to try to swim a similar race next time and with better turns (at least 3 I was too far from the wall) and swimming a bit fresher (last year was first race of the day - this year 3rd race) and with luck make further progress. I'm going back over thread to pick out some 200 conditioning sets for the next few weeks!
