So, right now I go 2:31 in the IM, not the best, which is why I want to get faster.
My splits are:
Fly - 30
Back - 43
*** - 39
Free - 38
I don't have the decimals for my splits, but that's what the seconds are. My pacing is usually horrible, same goes for my turns. I think I'm pushing myself too hard in the fly, and not enough in the back.
I have a little over a month and a half to drop 12 seconds to get to my goal, and it seems reasonable (to me at least).
All help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is obvious that you go out wayy to fast the first 50,
You should also post your current time doing a 50 from a push (fl,bk,br,fr), that might answer if you have to work more on conditioning or sprint. You definetly have to work on spliting that better.
With that time on your 50 fly, I would say that if you add 2 second to that fly (32) you probably can drop 4 seconds in your final 50 free (34), and maybe 2 seconds in the 50 back (41), the *** is not bad.
You have to go fast but more relaxed during the fly, remember you need to finish the 1st 50 with some air and legs for another 150.
You also need to work on that 50 back, is too slow, even after a 50 fly fast, do more backstroke sprints, you should be going 35-6 at least.
