What stroke are you best at? (not necessarily favorite)

Note: This poll is not about your "favorite stroke", for which there is already a thread, although for many the two coincide. I think this should be a more interesting aspect, technique-wise.
if the 500 backstroke were a recognized event
Why is there no 400m or longer backstroke race?
Us weird people in Australia race backstroke at distances up to and including 1500m. Records to beat: www.portal.aussi.org.au/.../records.php
(Note: those races held only at specific long-distance LC or long-distance SC meets. In my state, you won't even get a 400 free outside of that. Main Nationals only has standard events)
