The Butterfly Lane

Of course not, Elaine (but I did think of Peter's post)! I kept thinking, "almost halfway there," then "halfway there," then "this is boring, but at least it'll be over soon." Thanks for the challenge! :thewave:

Thanks for the challenge! :thewave: Hey, how did you get that Smilie to work? When I click on for the additional Smilies, I get a list of the Smilies by name, but no icons. :bouncing: And, I can't click on anything! Hmmm, perhaps I should do a little cookie clean-up and see what happens... Anyway, you're welcome; the pleasure (and pain) was all mine. :D Edit #1: I tried my idea, but it didn't work. :badday: Edit #2: But, that was on AOL. When I logged in on Google Chrome and tried it, my Smilies worked! :ohyeah:Yeah, I know, AOL:censor: , but I just don't want to hassle changing my address, our business cards, etc.

Butternut club is fun to tell swimmers about. I'm still talking about my 1,000 fly.

A forum newbie has posted a butterfly question in the "Forum Announcements and Questions" section here: forums.usms.org/showthread.php Can better flyers than me please assist? :)

please assist? :) Done

Thanks. My first butternut entry was last year with a 500. Of course, we had to plan for a thousand this year. It should be fun.

Here's an interesting butterfly video. www.youtube.com/watch

Did my 1000 fly this morning as part of my long Sunday workout in 18:29. Congrats to all that took up the Butternut challenge. Next - a 1650?

Saw this on SwimSwam. Anyone want to try to match it? Over the winter break in 1979, Dennis Pursley was the head coach for the Cincinnati Pepsi Marlins. They worked very, very hard and for a long time. One evening he gave a portion of the team a 10,000-meter swim for time, and legend has it, told those swimmers that if they performed under a certain time they could miss the next morning practice. Mary T. Meagher and the butterfly group piped up and asked, “What about us?” Coach Pursley offered the same challenge, along with the fact that everyone that swam butterfly had to swim full stroke/legal butterfly the entire 10,000 meters for their effort to count. Mary T and a few of her teammates earned the right to sleep in the next morning. swimswam.com/.../

Congratulations, j! :applaud: :cheerleader::banana: It's great to see so many new Butternuts! As for the next challenge, sure! I already swam a 2,000 fly back in June, so I think I can handle a 1650 just fine. Slow :cane:, but fine... :D Happy new year, Butternuts! :chug:
