Answer 1

Take the first 50M at about 80% and then drive to full speed through the last 150M. Focus a getting a good start and properly running the curve with a slight lean inward. Make sure you come off the curve in a full sprint while driving your arms and keeping a consistent stride. Do not start out running at 100% or you will lose speed the last 50 M. Only well conditioned athletes should attepmt the race at 100% all 200M
