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 did my fastest fly & IM times in college with almost all freestyle training. Now I train a much higher volume of fly, mainly because that's how I'd rather train. It's Masters, do whatever you want! :banana: Great attitude.
So easy to follow in other's footsteps. Not so easy to make your own.
The main problem in using the FreeStyle to train for butterfly, is that it only addresses the physiological component, not the technical one. And anyway, I see no reason on earth why one would avoid reps of 100m at fly, since these are quite easy to book. The first 50 is easy. Things are getting a bit harder on the third 25, and you're actually suffering only over the last 25.
Specificity, specificity, specificity.
