    middle distance free is the best......i love anything from a 100free to 500free. i like 400im as well. i absolutely hate 50 free. i just can't get my turnover going, and i have bad starts so i'm pretty much out of the race before it even starts. i have done a 1650 fly........it wasn't too bad. i think i did it because i was pissed at my coach, we had some sort of disagreement and it was kinda like "fine i'll just swim the whole thing butterfly!" i did it all and beat some ppl who were swimming freestyle. i just get bored with distance....i lose count too so i usually end up swimming more than i was supposed to. i hated it when we did timed 3000yds in practice, i just never saw any real point to it even though it was supposed to test your level of conditioning during the season. i much rather do 8x200 sprints, 500s descend, or 100s off the blocks.
