While I would never contemplate swimming in either of these events, a breastroker buddy pointed out that, according to the currently posted schedule, there is no 200 *** or fly at the upcoming masters world championships. Is this a typo on their website? If not, does anyone know why these events are not being offered.

Jim, I'm sure you've got your hands full with the other Longhorns, but if you'd still like to challenge me in the (gulp) 200 fly, I'm in. I'm not sure if I could go 2:06 at this point.
Well actually I only have one official challenge with a Longhorn right now (besides you if you still want to do it?)....and that's my 500 free challenge with the Raz (A challenge that I will almost certainly lose BTW....but oh well, I'll go down swinging hopefully??)......I didn't know you swam a 53 100 *** back in the day.....If that is so you can surely crush me in any kind of breaststroke race since I can barely swim breasstroke legally....and barely swim it to save my own life if necessary...LOL!!
I'm not sure how we would ever be able to square off in such a challenge though since I could never ask you to waste an event at Nationals on something like the 200 fly....that would just be ludicrous.....I guess I'll never square off with the Good Smith in a 200 fly either unless he gets into some kind of challenge with Bobby Patten that includes the 200 fly (and a slew of other off events for him) and I just happen to also be swimming the 200 fly as well......Oh how I would love for that opportunity though!!.....I wonder how John would do on that last 50 fly of a 200 fly??...LOL!!......I bet he wouldn't come home in a 22.8 that's for sure!!.....Of course I couldn't break 24 in a 50 fly if my life depended on it!
If we ever meet in Texas while visiting family over the holidays sometime and we're both at the Longhorn Masters workout at the same time then maybe after practice we can give it a go.....I'll give you 2 beers per second for every second you beat me by....and make you only pay one beer per second for every second I beat you by if I happen to beat you.....This is my fair compensation plan for making you swim a 200 fly at the end of practice.....Does that sound fair enough?
