Answer for question 4356.

[Error: unknown template qotd]I entered a small swim meet run by one of the local clubs. Somehow, the coach managing registrations decided I needed to do the 200 IM race (the last race of the day). I didn't realize I was registered so was late to the starting blocks. Luckily, it meant I didn't have time to stress too much about doing 50 m of butterfly (my absolute worst stroke, and one I rarely manage to do for 50 yards at a time, let alone 50 m at top speed). It was the hardest 4 1/2 minutes of swimming I have ever done. It wasn't too bad for an old broad who only learned to butterfly about 5 years ago, and rarely swims more than once a week, though.
