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.
Your butterfly split is very fast relative to your backstroke split. Is that because you need to work on your backstroke technique or is it that you're wiped out after the 50 fly? The breaststroke split looks good relative to the butterfly split. The freestyle split seems slow compared to the breaststroke split.
As stated, your weak links are back and free. If you can figure out why -- technique, endurance, ? -- you'll be able to put together a plan for dropping time. I'm going to suggest working on your flutter kicking, as that's one commonality between back and free that will benefit both strokes.
