12.5 meters of coverage for both the men's and women's 800??? Shame on you, NBC. Is it really too much to ask for 10 minutes of coverage for each of these events? What does that equate to -- one crummy 1st round game of Wimbledon? An inning from one of the godawful number of pro baseball games? Boy, you got that right. Universals coverage was so much better. Why didnt Biederman swim?

Wow, check out the top 3 in the women's 100 fly: www.omegatiming.com/.../C73A1_Results (One Heat - Individual)_111_Heat1_Women_100_Fly.pdf What I find interesting is that *in the water* Coughlin was the slowest and Vollmer was the fastest. But Coughlin winning the race off the blocks was the deciding factor.

Bog, you got that right. New log entry: pwb nickname "Bog", origin unknown. Hey, somebody has to keep track of this stuff

I've been watching it the last 2 nights and one thing that amazes me is how different the pool looks from Nationals. Even my coach commented about how they changed it from his days swimming there and when he went last year for an interview.

They definitely spent some $$$ to dress that place up (back drop over diving well, stands over one end of 50m pool, lane covers on end lanes, lighting. Big production.

Davis Tarwater breaks the AR in the 200 fly! 1:51.9 Phelps held the old record at 1:52.2

I just saw some of the swims and I was really impressed by Hansen.He looks more muscular than before.Swimming down Gyurta in the 200 was really impressive.Gyurta did the same to him at the 2004 Olympics and is really known for his finish so that must have been sweet.

Great pool but not great pool maintenance. At GA Tech, temps vary wildly, as does clarity and chemical concentration. I don't remember specific cloudiness at Nats but it's not an uncommon occurrance from what I hear from folks who swim there more regularly. Anyone notice on the underwater footage of the 2011 D I T P relays the water looked cloudy? I encountered the same problem at that pool on relays at 2009 SC Nats The tiny bubbles from fierce swimming and kicking seem to linger longer than in any pool I've ever encountered, making the water milky which made it hard for me to see the walls and gauge my turns.

2. I'm so glad to see Ricky Berens show up at a big meet. His anchor 100 was a thing of beauty. That may have been the best relay start I've ever seen. I saw very little of the meet, but I did see the 4x100 free relay at the end. I thought his last turn was amazing. Skip
