Do you guys feel cheated???

Not in the least! OUCH!!!:dedhorse::frustrated: Great find, Heather!

The Aussies have records for all stroke in the 50,100,200,400,800, and 1500.Yes I am jealous,though I'm sure Jim Clemmons would kill me in the longer breaststrokes as 200 is about my limit.Now if there was a 25 ***:bouncing::bouncing::bouncing:

Please refrain from using this forum to discuss religion. :banana: But how can a person help it in this case? Can you see the terror that 800 fly strikes in the hearts of us in the States, how we all begin to experience both profound (nay, religious) gratitude that such events are not taking place here, along with nagging fears that they're coming? The preachers are already working on the sermons... ARE YOU READY TO MEET THE 800 BUTTERFLY? Repent, brothas and sistas, especially those of you doing that sinful breaststroke, and you know who you are.... :D

that we don't have 400 and 800 meter butterfly events like the Aussies??? www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/14970.asp Just imagine-they probably have 400 and 800 meter breastroke as well!!! Uuhh.....Yes, we certainly do! ;) They are not offered as an event very often but they do have 'em!.... little silly really but oh well each to their own..

Fishie- said 800 holds no terror; simply do butterfrog and take tea breaks along the way. Oh, sure, anything is easy if you cheat.

Ah, but do you folk down under have open water mile butterfly? :D When there are IM sets in my masters' workouts, I feel lucky to survive 25 yards of butterfly. The world is not ready to see me go longer. :eek:

i feel grateful that we don't it's this an overwhelming sense of gratitude and thankfullness can I get an amen? Amen brotha Ande! Preach on brotha! Let's heal the nation hurting for hope of a day when we will do nothing over a 50 butterfly! Halleluiah :p

Amen brotha Ande! Preach on brotha! Let's heal the nation hurting for hope of a day when we will do nothing over a 50 butterfly! Halleluiah :p Amen from me too! I like me a 50 fly. Why spoil the joy by doing so many extra lengths and possibly having to resort to butterfrog? I'm with Allen too. Nothing wrong with some 25s thrown in there. Peter: Butterfrog is not easy. I can't do it at all. Too much like evilstroke. But it is darn ugly.
