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?

I finished a one mile fly at the Reston Lake Swim Sunday. It was easier then I thought it would be. Much less stress on the navigation side of the swim. I only hit two people and do that swimming free anyway. My time was 3 min off the pool pace I set. Having gone in to the race with the attitude of just finishing I'm not surprised. Next will be trying it in the Ocean and I'll push it a little more. I'm a little concerned about breathing.. anyone have any tips for that? The race is 100 ids off shore running parallel to it. I look forward to surfing in!

Great job! In the ocean, breathe to the side that faces the oncoming waves, so you know what's coming at you. In the ocean is the only time that I breathe to the side in fly. It feels weird to me in the pool, but since it gives me vital information in the ocean, it feels normal there.
