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?

200 LCM is my objective for end January 2012 but I am struggling mentally and physically about how to get thereThere was a quote recently from a former Olympic 200 flyer (from the Spitz era, but not Spitz) who said something to the effect of, "you need to sleep the 1st 100." I cannot over-emphasize how easy you must strive to make that 1st 100 of a 200 fly feel, especially long course. I'd even suggest that, for your first attempt, you think about positively loafing for about 175M and then, and only then, try to put some level of effort into it. Take long, languid, breath-filled turns ... maybe even going so far as to flash a smile to the stroke and turn judge while you gulp some air. Try to glide as long as possible, maybe do a few extra kicks between strokes.
