The 200 Fly

Back in May at the USMS SCY Nationals when I swam the 200 Fly I went out too fast and just died at the end.    My arms were sore and my legs just had nothing left.  So this time I tried to pace myself.  After the 100 I took the 3rd 50 a bit slow.  Maybe too slow.  I felt good and strong the whole 200.  No dying, no tired arms or legs.  I don't think swimming the 200 butterfly only twice a year at a meet is teaching me how to swim the event correctly.  After my swim when I walked back to my team mates my coach and several people commented that I now need to break the 2:25 mark in the SCM 200 Fly.  Oy!  The next SCM meet will be in June in Washington, DC.  Just enough time to do lots and lots of fly in workout!
