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

Tough set today. It wasn't super-tough physically since it's not very dissimilar from what I do regularly, but tough mentally.
150 fly on 4:00 (went 1:44)
125 fly on 3:30 (went 1:26)
100 fly on 3:00 (went 1:07)
75 fly on 2:30 (went 48)
50 fly on 2:00 (went 30-high or 31-low)
25 fly AFAP (went 13-high or 14-low from a push. 12 SDK's, 7 strokes, no breaths)
Mentally, it was tough to sprint at the end of the 100 and the 75, with the 150 and 125 already weighing on my shoulders. Internal dialogue, minus expletives: "The intervals are long so you can go fast, NOW GO FAST!" I should have been quicker on that 50 too. I see lots of room for improvement the next time I do this set. I think I can and should finish 46-29-13. Then again, the next time I try something like this, I might start at 175 or 200...
