Many swimmers I have talked to over the years have said that they would like to race some nonstandard event. Frequently mentioned examples are: a 75 butterfly, a 3-stroke IM, a 25 SDK, or a distance stroke event. Suppose you could enter some nonstandard events at a SCY meet, what would you pick? Perhaps a 2x400 breaststroke family relay? (Count me out on that one, but it does sound cool.) I thought about posting a poll, but it would be difficult to list all of the possibilities and I might miss some good idea, so I'm just inviting free-form response. Second question: would you travel to Philadelphia to swim it?
75 fly would wonderful.
I have this feeling that events like the 75 or 150 fly are a symptom of "the grass is greener" syndrome. As in, "my 200 fly would have been just great...if it had ended at 150!"
But I have a suspicion that 75/150 fly would hurt just as badly as their longer counterparts...
