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

The good news is that I'm thinking about swimming the 1650 2 events before the showdown.

One intriguing thing about the event order at Auburn -- I'm sure you've noticed -- they put all the "Brute Squad" events on the first day. I'm probably not going to do it this year, but next year Auburn will be the last meet in my current age group, so I'm thinking about doing them all on the same day (as well as other totally insane things like maybe even a breaststroke event! :eek:)
... you seem have more of and up/down motion in your stroke than I do ... Also, look at the Sept-Oct issue of Swimmer Magazine. That helped me a LOT with my hand position.
Thanks! I've been working on keeping the stroke flatter, but unfortunately it hasn't yet translated into faster times. I've swum the 200 fly in meets 5 times now, all this year (2 SCY, 2 SCM, 1 LCM). I'm a lot less intimidated by it than I was this time last year. I will take another look at Sept-Oct Swimmer for more tips.
