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?
I would love a 75 fly. It's at the point where I am still swimming but starting to cross over to death. That darned 100 is just a wee bit too long. Thinking of swimming it again this year ... :afraid:
100IM relay would be fun as would an all fly relay. There was a point where my old team would have had a crazy fast 200 fly relay ... 3 chicks with 50 flys well under :30 (2 @ 25 or better) #4 would be able to go under :30 (I think). Would have loved to do that.
