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?

Now that I'm getting back into good shape my fly is coming back to me (not that it ever left). Last year I had about 1 1/2 hours a week of training and this year about 5+ hours a week. This makes a BIG difference.
I've been doing some amazing fly workouts too, here is one of them:
7 x 300 Fly @ 1:00 rest after each 300
#1-3 - 300 straight (honestly #2 was the hardest part of the whole thing) (I went 3:57, 4:01, 3:58)
#4 - Broken 150s @ :15 rest (1:58, 2:00)
#5 - Broken 100s @ :15 rest (1:14, 1:18, 1:18)
#6 - Broken 50's @ :15 rest (started at :39, got down to :34 on last one)
#7 - Broken 25's @ :15 rest (these ones felt like sprints, I just went fast)
Yes, I'm crazy, but as long as I have the ability to do it, I will. I don't do this kind of stuff day after day, I do need to recover.
I signed up for my hometown meet in about 3 weeks, doing the 50, 100, 200 fly, and capping it off with the 500 Free (as fly of course). Shouldn't be too bad. I've done a few 400s over the past few months in practice.
I just know that the 200 fly will feel like a sprint after a while. :bliss:
