Today, these forumites showed how the 200 fly is done. The difference between the 100's is key. Good job! (And as always, I hope I didn't miss anyone)

The second to last one looks like a problem with the timing system. The last one... maybe she requested an official split of her first 100, but then didn't finish the second 100.

The second-to last one was Kerry O'Brien, who requested a 100 split and then did 100 fly easy. No piano, and 55.8 is a great swim in 100 fly for a 52-year-old. I bet the weird timing is b/c he stopped after the 100 to catch his breath before continuing. Kerry couldn't get to the meet until today.
Remember that you have to complete the event legally for a split to count, so the last one was probably a true DNF not a 100 split request.
You missed Bill Specht (sorry I didn't change the name, but the man IS a hall-of-fame swimmer :bow:), who is a great butterflyer and won the event, but could barely get his arms out at the end:
1 Specht, William 2:02.71
26.43 56.24 (29.81)
1:26.88 (30.64) 2:02.71 (35.83)
Bill was a couple heats before me and I watched him finish...we are roughly the same speed, and it always really gives me pause to see someone dying badly when I am about to swim this event.
Completely different subject: can anyone identify whose splits these are in the 500 free and why they are so impressive?

Thanks for the clarification on the split request swim. The 22.67 really made it look like a malfunction or something. I did see Bill Specht's swim but decided not to include it.
As for that 500, I think it's pretty good work for a drop dead sprinter!

Sure, they're Jazz Hands'. Very impressive. Obviously, doing speed work has some aerobic conditioning effect!
Check out the Jazz interview on floswimming!

.
It was still horrible. Before the meet i was hoping for close to 2:05. Just before this race, I was so tired I remarked to Kirk that I was just hoping to break 2:15. At least I met my modified goal!!

...and your shoulder held up!
I got a kick out of this. I hope that Margaret Ouch is doing okay. It's conceivable that that particular organ grinder's monkey might have had to rescue her.
This is what happened last summer at LCM Nationals in Portland.

33.13 1:13.20 (40.07) 2:10.31 (57.11)
My dad was watching, and he said it looked like I just slowed down a little on my last 25 when the piano was in full effect. I guess compared with Mr. Cloud, I still looked okay. From the flags to the wall, I could barely get my hands out of the water! That was very unusual for me. I've raced the 200 fly twice since then, with differences of 3.13 and 3.83.

Erik Scalise owes Jeff Commings one beer. Jeff Commings owes Erik Scalise one beer. :chug:
Are you implying that I owe him a beer because of his 200 ***? Obviously, you are unaware of my 200 *** embargo. Erik deserves all the beers. He had a great meet.
Plus, Erik and I are no longer in the same age group. I wish him all the best in all his events in 30-34 (except the sprint breaststrokes). ;)
I didn't see them in person, but swims of the meet had to be the battles between Roque Santos and Kirk Stackle. The 100 *** was probably epic. Wish Kirk had been able to do the 200.
