Save a little bit for the final 50?? Or didn't like being behind on the final turn? Very Phelps-ish like on the come from behind victory. Nice job !!! :bow:Thanks. I had no clue where Dave was as I was in lane 2 and he was in lane 8 or 9. I was just fighting to finish that puppy.

My understanding is that he developed an arrhythmia, and his defibrillator shocked him appropriately.

This must've been quite cool to watch (as long as you weren't Eric). A 4 second differential on the final 50 is just killer!! Another 5 meters or less and you'd have been National Champ I bet. Nice going!! :bow: We weren't in the same heat, actually. I'm not knocking the seeding format; i had excellent competition in my heat and went a best time.

The other obvious explanation is the pool is shorter in one direction than in the other. I just hope they measured it both ways! :bolt: I was thinking about this some more and if the pool really does have a clockwise current then it would be advantageous in the 50 free to be in lanes 0-2 or thereabouts. Which Cullen Jones and Kara Lynn Joyce both were when they made the Olympic team. Also, during my 1500 I removed my cap at the 700 mark and by the end of the race it had wandered from lane 2 over to lane 5, consistent with a clockwise current.
