I was driving home today and
started pondering about the 200 im
suppose for a moment in the 200 IM
you got to choose where you put each stroke in the race
there's 24 different ways to do it
what do you think would create the fastest over all time
would
Fly Back *** Free
be the fastest combo for you?
If not what would?
Why?
personally I'm thinking
Fly *** back free
would be fastest for me
Probably
Back Free *** Fly
would be slowest
What about you
Anyone got any comments?
Ande Rasmussen
let's make up the rules and say you can flip the turn from free to the next stroke and because of that it may be faster to do it
FL BR FR BK
or maybe
FL BK FR BR
I think I might pick up a second or so swimming it this way
ande
here's all 24 combos

Doing 100 each way might make an interesting and confusing 100 IM set
