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

How should one pace the 1,000 yard fly?
Goal: Finish without a piano on the back.
After a while is there an advantage to hang on the wall for a few seconds to recover a bit? Is there an advantage of doing an interval?
Should one go as far as they can kicking off the wall or is the benefit of doing that lost to oxygen debt?
I know when I did my 500 fly in the meet in January I did it with slower turns to take double breaths, and also pushed off with a streamline glide (no kicking) until I was ready to take the first stroke. Then right back into the 2 up, 1 down breathing pattern. I held strong the whole way, and actually was able to pick it up at the end when it came down to a race with another person at the finish. I ended up losing the battle with her at the end...but I think the fact that she could throw in a 6 beat kick, and the mindset to not get beat by a 500 flyer. :)
