You're not a sprinter and you're not a pure distance swimmer. Your 50's & 1500's aren't as great as your 200's, 400's, & 500's. Your 100's aren't shabby. Let the D Divas take those 800's, 1000's, 1500's & 1650's. You're caught in the middle. You've got OK speed, but you can do those longer sets that make pure sprinters ill. You're well conditioned and tend to do well with back to back events. You're in great company, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are middle distance swimmers who have excellent 100's but not so great 50's. Man you can train.
This is the middle distance lane. Don't get lapped.

Nice tight race, thanks for sharing.
I was always a mid to long distance swimmer. Never swam in college so I only swam the 1500 once and can't for the life of me remember what my time was in it. I will definitely be fitting in the mid distance category as having the time to train for long distance is not in the cards.
