I posted about 6 weeks ago asking for workout advice on how to lower my time in the 100 free. I am now down to a 1:02. I have been focusing on my kicking, my technique and most of my workouts are at race pace. I would like some workout advice on how to strengthen my last 25. I notice a considerable drop off in strength and my technique tends to fall apart in that last lap. Anyone have thoughts or advice?

...am I being too ambitious by seeding myself at a 59.9 if I'm not 100% sure I can do it? ... ... I have a feeling if I seed myself for the goal time, I'd have more of a chance to make it.
You should ALWAYS enter the time you plan to finish the given event in... not what you have swam in the past. If you were getting slower, you wouldn't ask about entering a slower time than your past... why is this a problem going the other way?
also, you might prefer to enter 59.88, or 59.86 or something like that. If it's a big meet there might be lots of people with an exact 59.9 entry time.
