Did you watch the relay? What made it even more outrageous is that while viewing, the only indication he was going fast was the HUGE distance between him and second place. The swim made the guys who went 1:31/1:32 leading off that heat look pedestrian.
Yea, you have to remind yourself that other guys are seriously fast.
That kind of separation is something you see at an A/BB/C meet.
Did Franklin have that kind of separation in her landmark 1:39.1? I have seen the race video and recall that it was a breathtaking performance, but I can't find it on the web now.
