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

I wanna do this!
You could do it, no problem! :agree: I looked you up; you're ranked #20 in the men's 50-54 age group for 200 fly, I am 54 and ranked near the bottom. Add that to being a former TOS sufferer who had a first rib resection (I know you know what that is!), and I am a very unlikely candidate to qualify as a Butternut. Take a look at my fly video, and you will also see I have a very long way to go before I nail down a decent fly stroke.
I qualified for Butternuts several times though. My first was 900 (my husband stopped me out of fear for my shoulders), my second was 2000 (I convinced my husband to let me go as long as it didn't hurt, but the camera card was full AND the battery died), and my third was 1000 for a challenge on this thread. I have also done a few 500's, but I didn't send them in, because they were unsupervised and undocumented.
The key is this: GLIDE! Don't swim it like you race the 200. Take it slow and easy, and glide as long as you can. Stay relaxed! If I can do it, any 200 flyer can do it! Go for it, Evan, and let us know how you did. :cheerleader:
