Swam the 2fly today. Was very pleased with my time for how beaten down I am right now. My time was a 1:59.1 and spits were 27.8, 30.9 (58.7), 30.7, 29.6 I know I definitely need to take the 100 out faster. Critique the race.

Nice race. Think it was Piersol. They do breathe alot!! I guess it really helps as long as it does not disturb body position. And even if it does, I think what most 200 specialists tend to demonstrate nowadays is that you have to develop a stroke mechanics that allows for breathing every stroke without any penalty.
Funny enough, I showed up to a *training competition* last weekend for the 50m butterfly. Being a 200m specialist, I always breathe every stroke in practice. You know what? I think I forgot not to breathe during this 50, and I still came close to my season's PB, including the fact that I tried (but failed) to extend the SDK duration (I could see my opponents under water escaping very rapidly). If it wasn't for this SDK failure, I would have got a new PB whilst breathing every stroke on a 50m.
That said, I won't do this mistake twice.
