        Nah. Defined sport with defined rules you play as hard as you can. Butterfly and race walking are both events where you're required to race slowly.

                            Nah. Defined sport with defined rules you play as hard as you can. Butterfly and race walking are both events where you're required to race slowly.

                                  That was great. Pulled away in the third quarter and just had enough to hold on in the last 200m. If there was another 100m it might have been different.

                                        That was great. Pulled away in the third quarter and just had enough to hold on in the last 200m. If there was another 100m it might have been different.
