We may be different here in Minnesota. There aren't a lot of butterflyers. Does that make us smart or short-sighted?
I swam 200 fly about 3 weeks ago. There was one other swimmer entered. He was so happy to see me he grabbed my hand when we were on deck and shook it so hard I wondered what kind of head game he was playing. Alas, there was none. He was just so accustomed to swimming solo that seeing another entrant made him feel validated. No, he wasn't psycho or masochistic, he had partner. I almost lapped him- I hope he's still friendly at our next meet in January.
Come on, guys. If I can do 200 fly (and my compatriate as well) then many, many more of you can too.
And after the meet, as we were meeting for :drink: I was very happy.
AMAZING!!! :notworthy:
I will never forget watching the 80-85 yr old men swim the 200 meter fly at Nationals! I felt like such a wimp....swimming my little 50 fly!
There were two entrants in the 200 meter fly last summer at the Oklahoma long course meet. The one who actually finished without DQing was 81 years old. Took him a while, but he set a state record. The heat was brutal -- around 90 degree water temperature.
