Butterfly, beautiful to watch, difficult to train.
We SDK off every wall.
We're most likely to smack hands with each other and those beside us.
Fly's fun to sprint but no fun when the piano comes down
What did you do in practice today?

Seriously, it is just swimming 8 laps, 4 laps in LCM. On the other hand, fly is the only stroke where you can technically end up not being able to finish the race. If unable to recover the arms after 125m, game over.
I think that is what keeps people away from the 200. They fear ending up going under the shame of quitting by the sides, trying to avoid being crashed by those that kept flying.
We were only 4 in our age group at the last Provincials. Sad, especially for the one who came last ;-)
On the other hand, people are fascinated by the stroke. Paradox.
Very nice fly threshold sets BTW. I can't think of any better way to train for this stroke. Kilo long sets with very little rest.
