The hour swim race is a postal swim, whereby entrants from all over the country swim the event in their home pool and mail or email in the results. Last year I was second in the 65-69 age group with 4,395 yards. I hold the national record of 4,680 yards, set in 2008.
Analysis of 2012 race
Final distance for hour: 4,450 yards
2,000s: 26:30, 27:17
1,000s: 13:08, 13:22, 13:35, 13:42.
500s: 6:33, 6:35, 6:36, 6:44, 6:44, 6:51, 6:51, 6:51, 6:53(extrapolated)
200s: 2:37, 2:37, 2:38, 2:37, 2:38, 2:38, 2:40, 2:39, 2:42, 2:42, 2:43, 2:42, 2:43, 2:40, 2:45, 2:45, 2:45, 2:44, 2:43, 2:45, 2:45, 2:47, 2:47.
200 splits best show gradual decline during the race.
I'm a bit disappointed I could not negative split the hour.
I suspect hangover from hard training last week took some zip out of the back half of the race.
