I need some input from freestyle lap or competitive swimmers

ok so first can you tell me ur best 100 free time in yards or meters short course.
secondly, what time do you hold on about 10x100 frees at cruising pace (a little faster than warm up pace but not much), on an interval of around 2:00 (plenty of rest). on the 100s u should be feeling good, no pain.
for example, my best 100 free time in short course yards is 59 seconds, and i hold 1:34's on 100 frees on 2:00 in a 25 meter pool.
thanks again

Yeah, I think the definition of cruise is going to throw this whole thing out of whack. I think of my cruise as being around 1:32 per hundred for a set on a base interval of 1:45 per hundred. If I did them on 2:00 I would naturally swim them faster/slightly aneorbocially and come in between 1:20 - 1:25 (otherwise I would just be loafing). So the better swimmers would have a base interval of 1:30, 1:15, etc.
Using just my cruise and race time (93, 63) and two other data points that I thought answered the question similarly, I get y = .974x - 25.17.
NotsoFast, I gave you credit for a 1:15, I wouldn't be surprised if you could do even better with a dive and a race. I can't break 1:10 in practice but my 100 time is 1:03.
