Swam the 2fly today. Was very pleased with my time for how beaten down I am right now. My time was a 1:59.1 and spits were 27.8, 30.9 (58.7), 30.7, 29.6 I know I definitely need to take the 100 out faster. Critique the race.

One thing I noticed is that off my turns I tend to pop up when I breath. I like to take a breath off turn in fly to set me up for the rest of the lap. My kicking, not sure why I dont kick harder. I dont think I have really gone after this event yet. When I finished this race it kinda felt like I was just swimming a 200 in practice. Maybe thats because I was relaxed. My stroke count I would like to lower on the second 100. I took 8 strokes each lap in first 100 and 9 strokes each lap on last hundred.
Im not a fan of breathing to the side, might work on staying lower. I like the pattern I have for breathing of 2 down and 1 up. Not sure why I breathed back to back on lap a few laps, maybe I felt I needed a little more air.
In this meet I did the 100 fly also in a 53.2 which shows me that taking my 2fly out in a 58.7 is way to slow. I think the kicking is the key. I know my legs are strong from running and stair master and there is no reason why I should not be kicking more! I think when fully tapered in May I should be around at least 1:55, thats my target time anyways :)
