Many moons ago - maybe 7 or 8 years, my teammates and myself would discuss which is harder - the 200 fly or 400IM. I always thought the 400IM would be worse as it involves backstroke which drains me and then I would have to stay with the plot on 100 ***, and I'm not a breaststroker by any stretch of the imagination. 200 fly on the other hand, well its all fly and 200 less than the 400IM and once you've got your rhythm you're set ..... so what do you all think?

  • I will never ever attempt a 200 ***. Ever. I'm determined to make 200 breaststroke my best event! :bouncing: Right now, my 50 and 100 are ranked higher than my 200. The times at my first LCM meet placed me in the "AA" category on the Motivational Times Chart, for both the 50 and 100 breaststroke. But, I'm an "A" in the 200. At least I moved out of the "B" category! :banana: Swimming the 200 LCM breaststroke reminded me of a watch my husband received as a gag gift. It was a Bart Simpson watch, and when you pushed the button, it quickly repeated the phrase, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?? Are we there yet???" As I was swimming my last lap, I must have asked that to myself on every pull! But, when I finally reached the wall, it was a PB, so I was happy! :bliss:
