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?

  • Anybody who thinks 200 *** is in anyway an easy race or is not painful is not really swimming it hard enough. At the end of a 200 fly, my arms feel like falling off. But after a 200 ***, my lungs feel like they're going to explode. Exactly!!! :agree: I guess that's why I'm crazy enough to keep at this event, rather than just wimping out with the 50 and 100 breaststroke. I'm determined to face the challenge head on and make this my best event! :D
