Butterflyers

Fortress- Thanks for the lead on the qualifying times. You are correct in identifying the thread. I have a ways to go, but I haven't really trained for the 200 fly yet, and will have to work not only on endurance but getting the splits right. It was interesting to read Ande's strategy on how to split the 200 fly in his swimming faster faster thread. What's your take? I've found as I mature that I don't have a whole lot of fast twitch going. If I'm going to make it to nationals, I think the 200 is my event even though it is going to take some hard work. There is a thriving master's swim group in town that practices 6 days/week at the Rochester Rec Center. There are now 2 teams in town- Orcas and Med City. It is a GREAT time. Fun to hear from a Mayo grad. My son is a senior there (he is a rower) and I have two swimmers, one of which is on the Mayo boys' team. I am originally from Wisconsin, but got my Minnesota connection established at Macalester College.
