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

  • disclaimer: I am NOT a butterflyer, I do, however, enjoy time calculations and estimates. Given that you know how to do mega-distance fly, although you may be "pokey" (or so you say) you can probably sustain what speed you have pretty well. You were basically holding :55/50 on the 4x50 set with decreasing intervals. I'd guess that you can get quite close to sustaining that given proper motivation. That's a 3:40 add-up, which I note is not too far from your pr 3:50. The descending intervals give you extra recover in the first repeats though. For a better estimate, I suggest that you do 4x50 SCY fly on 1:05. (Yes, this will be uncomfortable. I've done it. I know.) Your add up should be a reasonable estimate of your 200 SCY fly time. Using this time and an SCY-LCM converter you can get an estimate for your 200 LCM fly. I also suggest that you time trail a 225 SCY fly in practice. This will probably be a faster than your 200 LCM fly time, but in the same ballpark. Check out this thread for some discussion of this idea. forums.usms.org/showthread.php Compare these two estimates. Excellent, Karl! I appreciate your advice and suggestions, and it gives me a framework to work with between now and August. :applaud: Thank you very much! :agree:
