OK - the Trials have just begun and the Olympics are a mere weeks away.
Michael Phelps has said this is his last Olympics and he'll retire from swimming after this event.
So => What do you think he'll probably do? Right now he trains by swimming at least twice a day and probably lifts weights too.
So - will he probably take a week off after the games and not swim? A month? Longer?
What do high-profile swimmers like this do when they retire. I know Rowdy Gaines is a champion masters swimmer but I'm just curious what happens.
I'm guessing he'll have to stay in some kind of shape to work on his foundation and attend public appearances.
I think we will shopefuly see Michael around swimming for many years to come.
His interview last night after the 2Fr was a good one. He seems to have matured and as we all know,"good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement." We're all gaining experience and at times making bad judgements, just hopefully fewer bad judgements as you age.
Hope i have a chance to see him swim sometime or to at least listen to his story (he has at least one ghost written book and it's a good short read.) Last night was poetry, and he and Ryan in the final 25m were incredible to watch. How do you swim that fast and EZ/gracefull at once?
