200 fly is where swimmers make a statement about being tough or is it stupid?
I would rather go across the country and swim a 200 fly, 400 IM, or even a 1650 :afraid: for that matter. Why spend hundreds of dollars to go somewhere for a race that lasts less than 23 seconds? Plus I'm pretty good at the 200 fly. :banana: I'm not trying to make a statement...I just do it because I can.
I know many others that swim it for the same reason. They may not be incredibly fast at it, but when they are in the mid to upper 70's of age, and swimming the 200 fly on a regular basis in meets...that deserves a big :applaud:.
We have one 76 Female in our workout group that is almost done with 1000 - 1650 flys. Yes that is correct...1000!!! She comes all 5 days a week to practice and swims a 1650 fly every morning to start off her workout. She told me the other day that she only has 20 more or so to go to make the 1000 mile fly mark from whatever date she started. Congratulations to you Peony Munger...:applaud: :party2:
