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?
As others have already noted, there is never a time when DNF is a legitimate possibility in the 200 ***.
Well, that's just not true. I am so slow and any 200 BR I do would take so long, that I might quit the race out of sheer boredom.
I feel pretty much the same way about race-walking: sure, it's tiring. Awfully slow too, and funny-looking. :worms:
(Honestly, half of the reason for this post is that I wanted to use the new smiley.)
