OK this season try a new event that you are fearful of or have never tried. What will it be ?

I'm taking up the 50 back for a while, but only to beat Fort. After that is done, it's going back into retirement.
Why not swim the 200 back against me sometime? Kirk, the 200 back isn't as bad as the haters make it out to be. Give it a try.
100 Free, have rarely done it in master's competition. In fact, only did it a few times in college.
Did the 200M Free (LCM) last summer at a meet...I was reminded how much it hurts.
OUCH!
I may also do the 50 or 100 Backstroke because that will make me focus on making it better. Right now, my backstroke could stand for some major improvement...
I've signed up to do the 200M fly and 200Y fly in separate meets this month. As of this moment, I will maintain I'm committed to doing the events - regardless of what I feel like at the time (but I've been known to wimp out at the actual meet). I've never done them, and my fly is not particularly good...but I hear it is good for the soul to complete these in a meet at least once in your life.
My LMSC just posted this on their website. I'm definitely going to try this - 200 fly and 1650 weren't on my "list," but I think if I could do them in my own sweet time in my own sweet pool, I could pull this off.
