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?

    Me too! I think I'll pick a day (in the far future) and just do it. I'm thinking some time in November. Anyone else in for the challenge? Make that November 2014, and I might finish a 500
  • The surgery went well but Clyde the cyst gave us a surprise. He wasn't a cyst. He was a mass of tissue on the tendon sheath. I'm assuming benign but I'll know more when I go back for post-op in 2 weeks. As for recovery, I'm up and walking but it's slow and slightly painful. Much better than the surgery in Nov. And so far no pain pills needed :banana: I expect to be back in the water a bit in 2 weeks. Clyde, you little devil you! :bitching: I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything is ok. :toohurt:Good luck! :cheerleader:

  • That wasn't a mass of tissue! That was a Manitou! And evil identical twin Indian spirit starring Tony Curtis! YouTube- The Manitou (trailer) Oh, if I had only known its powers before it went to live in a sad state of the lab. I wonder who it will be reborn in next???

Thanks for your strict adherence to this in the future.
