The Butterfly Lane

ande
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? the breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

  • 1250 yard set, its actually harder than it seems. It is exactly as hard as it seems! I thought the toughest thing for me would be to make the downhill 100's and 75's, and that was correct. Also I jumped straight from the downhill 25's to the race-pace 100. For science! Copied from my flog: Saturday main set (1350 fly) This set courtesy of 5MWC Although I did not invent this set, I'm calling it THAT'S JUST NASTY until further notice. I am not as fast as 5MWC (1:04 LCM/1:04 SCM for me) so I was concerned about making the downhill intervals. Twice I finished right on the interval. 2x25 butterfly on the :30 went 15, 16 :30s rest 2x50 butterfly on the 1:00 went 36, 36 :30s rest 2x75 butterfly on the 1:15 went 55, 57 :30s rest 2x100 butterfly on the 1:30 went 1:14, 1:16 :30s rest 2x125 butterfly on the 1:45 went 1:35, 1:45 (not sure what happened here) :30s rest 2x100 butterfly on the 1:20 went 1:17, 1:17 :30s rest 2x75 butterfly on the 1:00 went 57, 1:00 :30s rest 2x50 butterfly on the :45 went 37, 37 :30s rest 2x25 butterfly on the :25 went 18, 18 :30s rest 100 fly AFAP went 1:05 from a pushoff I was surprised how much I had left in the tank for the 100. I was expecting a lactic acid disaster but it never happened. This is a tough set. Not for groggy Monday mornings. It was fine for a Saturday afternoon though. The looks on the other swimmers' faces were priceless. Masters Minute 200 easy
