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

Another approach is to change the interval to 1:10 for all 4.
I took yesterday off, so I went in fresh today. After an 800 warm up, I swam a practice 400 IM race and followed it with 100 EZ. Next, I tackled your suggested 4x50 fly @ 1:10 with the goal of holding :50-:55's. My times were: :54, :54, :55, :54. I'm curious how it would have been if I hadn't done a 400 IM race beforehand; however, I really wanted to get that in today, because I hadn't raced it in awhile.
It's amazing how much easier 1:10 is than 1:05 on those last two 50's! Five seconds doesn't sound like a lot, but it makes a huge difference in the pool! :banana:
