Ultra Short Training At Race Pace

Wouldn't your pace 50 time for a 2:08 200 be :32/50? Whoops, sorry! Yes, it should be 16 per 25 (i.e. 32 per 50) for a target of 2:08. Had a bit of a rain fart when I wrote that. But the principal of using the tempo trainer remains the same irrespective of your target time. With 16 second intervals you just count one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi and then re-sync. 2:08 i is indeed my target time, and my most recent Master's best but I haven't raced in over two years and I am trying to work my way back to that time (with a lot of difficulty). For the time being I am aiming for a sub 2:16 and am stuck on 17's per 25. I can do them fairly easily now but can barely manage 3 at 32. That is why it would be really nice if the temp trainer could descend in increments of less than a second. How do you adapt to fit into a 20 meter pool?
