200 Meter Butterfly (Long Course)


 
1:59.98

Her time got my attention. She broke the elusive two minute mark at a division III meet.

When she climbed from the pool I knew. She put Daryl Hannah to shame.

A mermaid in the water and a goddess on land.

  4. The time at the top made it even better.

  11. The confidence people have when they're doing what they're good at is a mighty mighty aphrodisiac. You captured that feeling so well here!
