About 4 months ago, I posted telling BT I would break 2 min for a 200 freestyle this year.

Today I was 2:01.6, untapered during a workout time trial. It's going to be close!!

Kick azz!  For us slow guys, when we were able to do that in a 100 it was a good thing.  In a 200 that is just smokin'!!

(How's the bike and run looking though ... ....)

The only way I ever could swim that fast would be to swim down Niagra Falls!

Good Job.

That time seems unfathomable to me. If I really bust my hump, I might come up with a 1:20 over 100yds. But I am bascally spent.

Great job! I hope you make your goal! Thats truly incredible to me.

Thanks everyone for the support!

I was wearing the new speedo fastskin pro, but shaving will help too!

I could have gotten another second out of the last 50 too (splits were 28.5, 30.5, 30.5, 32.0).

And for all of you who are saying/complaining they go 1:20 for a 100m... try doing a light warm up and sprinting a 100m (or 200m), and get down to 1:18, then do it again!

The 200 has to be the hardest race to learn how to swim. It's really hard to get yourself to back off a hair for the first 50 to put in in reserve for the last 50. I'm sticking with my prediction though, you are going to kick some !!!!!

Congratulations on a great swim!  No doubt you'll break 2 min.  When is the big meet?

Golly, when I first read this I thought it was a 100 swim. Swimming a 200, by gosh by golly, you will have a heck of a wake behind you. Good Luck and Kick Azz.
