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

How was it, Evan? Did you find that it actually got easier once you past the 200 mark? For me, the first 200 was the most difficult. I became more relaxed after that, got in a (slow!) rhythm, and I felt like I could just keep going on.
Was your time faster or slower than what you thought it might be? Just curious...
Not bad. I had done a 400 a couple weeks ago so I had a feel for what I was getting into. Honestly the stroke is very different than a racing stroke (at least it was for me). I took your advise on the glide and swam at a pace that wouldn't create the hypoxia we often feel when racing a 200 fly. Great respect to those of you going the super distances fly.:bliss:
