Practice is the key to doing better flying 200s. Like, having an entire session dedicated to Flying 100s and Flying 200s every so often.

My buddy (ATRA CAT A; all-around type of racer) called me once after the monthly sprint night:

Buddy: "Man, I can't get my flying 200M under 13 seconds."
Me: "Have you practiced it since last month?"
Buddy: "No."
Me: "There you go."

Fast forward 1 month and I get a text:

Buddy: "Still over 13 seconds :("
Me: "Have you practiced it since last month?"
Buddy: "No."
Me: "There you go."

A month later...

Buddy: "12.7!"
Me: "Have you practiced it since last month?"
Buddy: "Yes"
Me: "There you go."
