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?
200 fly!!! especially LCM.
I did both the 200 fly and 400 IM at Indy LCM Nationals last year.
The fly was the iffiest, diciest race of my life.
EVERY stroke was a decision and a question.
"Can I? Do I wanna? Why do I wanna? What's my name? Why am I here?" Looong waits on the wall. Serious doubts if I could finish. Time stood still. Sloww motion people on the sides claaping, cheeering. It wasn't JUST that my arms got tired, or I had no forward motion, or that I needed air. Every single little piece of my body and soul hurt.
I finished--legally. It wasn't pretty. Very happy though.
I vote 200 fly LCM.
