I signed up for my first ever (Ever. Including age group and my illustrious high school career) 200 IM this Saturday. My only goal is to complete it legally. My fly and back are so pathetic that I regularly negative split the 100 IMs I have done, so this should be interesting. Adding to the fun is the fact that it is at altitude (3,600'), which is my excuse to take it easy. My mantra will be to float the fly, cruise the back while remembering to breathe (although I am a little concerned about the turn at the 75), and then I should be home free.
Should be.
