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?

Finally, That Guy, this is what I did. Downgraded lane, even downgraded coach :)
Allowed me to do (long course meter):
400 @ 50m Free / 50m Fly
300 Fly
200 kick
100 pull
4x200 Fly (aerobic) with 30sec rest (was probably holding 3:45, not any faster, following some breaststrokers)
4x100 Free descending 1-4 30s rest
4x50 Fly descending 1-4 30s rest (last one in 35 flat, happy with this)
No board (even on the kick)
My goal in performing this volume of fly was to work on a specific thing. Making sure that my bum was breaking the surface on every down beat of the first kick. I tend to neglect kicking at slower speed. I worked on Phelps splashless entries too, but that I always do anyway while performing base mileage at my favorite stroke.
Great stuff! Maybe someday I will figure out how to swim fly aerobically. Until then, I don't see how I could complete this set. The 300 and then the 4 200's would be very problematic for me, especially in LCM.
