Last night an interview with Janet Evans aired on the Tavis Smiley show on PBS. She is, as always, composed and engaging. Enjoy.

That's a great interview, thanks for posting it!
Ditto that.
I think, though, given what she describes as her training regimen, that all of us in the "Go The Distance" challenge should be very glad she's not clocking her mileage in here.
I'd really love to see her make the Olympic team, but, more than that, I hope she becomes a regular on the USMS scene and starts swimming Nationals and other meets over the rest of her swimming lifetime.

10 miles a day...she says it like it's nothing to her!! Joking about it even. :)
She seems VERY sure of her chance to do trials & hopes to make the team. I'm sure that she will make those of us that have followed her times proud that a 40 year old mom can come back! GO JANET !!!!!!!!
She seems like a genuinely good person. Really hope she makes it. Dara set the stage. If Janet makes it, the fluke factor will be thoroughly kiboshed, and lots of people will start looking at aging differently--and swimming as a fountain of youth.
I loved the part where she thought about all the other things she could have got involved in - volunteering, PTO etc, but decided to swim instead. I'm right there with ya Janet, but only for 10 miles a week!
