I don't know if any of you have been following the new feature at the Swimming World website called "A day in the life" which has been following the daily routine (written by the subject) of various swimmers. It has been fascinating reading anyway, but now they feature a masters swimmer: Dennis Baker. We have expressed awe and admiration for his feats, now learn what he does to achieve his high level plus his life on a veritable coaching merry-go-round. And do note that most of his workouts are in meters. Day 2 has just been posted.
Yeah, we could trade stories of violent, painful deaths at the 200 distance for both strokes. I feel that Leslie finds the thought of a 200 fly repulsive because of some horrendous incident as a young swimmer, however, I sense that she's on the edge of letting herself be talked into it. I'll pay to watch...
No, no horrendous childhood incident, Peter. :thhbbb: Just swam it a whole lot. I preferred the 100, but the 200 was pretty fun too. (No violent painful death if your regular strategy is to loaf the first 100.) I'm sure I've swum more 200 flys in my life than many butterfroggers on the forum. ;) But I am definitely not on the verge of being talked into it, so you can save your money, Mr. Biblioman. (Besides, I don't want to give up my FAF Sista status.) I was alluding to being talked into the 200 IM someday. But my next few meets, assuming I go, are all booked up with sprints of 100 or 'd pay to watch your 200 fly though or SwimStud's. :cool:
