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

Here's a post where I explain how I get myself into sleep mode in the 200 fly and 400 IM: U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums - View Single Post - Butterfly Dryland Question
For the 200 fly I usually approach the event as 125 easy-75 hard for short course and 150 easy-50 hard for long course. When I raced the 200 SCM last weekend, I had planned on 125-75, but changed my plan mid-race and did 150-50 instead. That worked out fine. If it had started raining pianos in there, I could have instituted further damage control measures (175-25 or even 200-0). :afraid:
I actually did the same exact thing as That GUy (we were next to each other). I did mine out of pure exhaustion going into the race though, knowing I wouldn't be able to "take it out" like I usually do. It was the easiest 200 Fly I'd ever done, and I made a run for it at the end, and almost caught That Guy too! :) We both ended up having best times in the race.
Maybe this means I should change my approach at the 200 Fly???
NO WAY!!! Out like a rabbit is how I will be! :bliss: :banana: :bliss:
