So here's my story. I swam a meet this past Saturday and did pretty good. Got a :26.11 on the 50m free and a :58.86 on the 100m free, this was LCM. Here are some stats from the race:
1st length: 36spl, 6 sdks, split was about :27.5 (guessing based on time from the camera)
2nd length: 40spl, 5 sdks, split was :31.36
My dive was pretty bad as I my feet and hands hit at the same time. I think my turn was ok. My observation is this: I feel that if I can swim the 50 in almost 26 flat, it seems I should be able to hit a :56.xx for the 100.
So, my question is how do I work on this? Based on the "splits" it looks like I should develop more endurance for the 2nd 50? Also, is there any way to tell what a optimum spl would be for a 5' 10," 174lb swimmer would be? I've got a semi-long term goal of going :54-:56. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

how were you effected by the guy in the lane next to you?
he seems to have come from behind around 35-40m and then with 15ms or so left it looked like you tried to dig in, but had nothing left.
that said my last 100lcm
opened in 29.57 felt fine came back in 33.41 for 1:02.98
it will be a year before I can swim the 100 lcm again, but I am hoping to get down to 1:00.xx
