Foreward: My 50 was a good time for me, my 200 time I have actually beat in practice from a push. Criticism on my 50, starts and turns would probably be most beneficial to me, but I am interested to get feedback on some race pace video. These videos are from the DAM SCM meet yesterday.
My times are annotated in the video, but here they are for reference.
50: 27.71
200: 33.48/36.18/36.78/33.77 1:09.66/1:10.55 2:20.21

Q,
It kind of looked like you were swimming in distance mode for the 200. But, this is what happens when you are a nationally ranked distance swimmer!! :) I would say step up the tempo a little. At least, do 1 SDK off of each wall. Heck, I tend to do 2 or 3 during a 1500/1650. You are coming up too early off of each wall.
your 100 splits were almost even so that is a good thing.
Well, at least, you legskin looked cool. Man, I looked like a beached whale compared to you.
