What SHOULD! your 100 Freestyle time be...?
This is a mathematical formula Dan Stenziano and I came up with to help determine shark times if you've never done a 100 before or to determine what your target 100 free time should be.
Let X= Your fastest 50 Free Flat Start Time
Let y= Your 100 Freestyle time when used in equation x+(x+5)
x+(x+5)=y
y+(y+1.5) > 100 Time
2
also- y+(y+1.5) + 5 = Shark Time
2
Example:
x = 26.90
26.90+(26.90+5) = y
26.90+31.9 = 58.8
58.8+(58.8+1.5) > 100 Time
2
119.1 > 100 Time
2
59.55 > 100 Time
59.55 + 5 = 1:04.55 Shark Time
When you get your shark time always round down, even if its .99 because this is sharks!! You're SUPPOSED to work hard.
