First off, I was very happy with this swim. I don't think I could have swum it much better. It's only the 3rd time in my life that I've been under 4:30, and 2 of those were prelims/finals of the same day. My splits were so close to that 4:30.02 swim, but slightly faster on all 100s except the freestyle :).

That said, I'd like to drop that last 100 to 1:00 or better, while holding the first 300 at least close to the same. There were quite a few who went 4:23-4:25 on similar 300 splits. Looks like one of my next training goals is to get faster in the freestyle.
