It is surprising how good you feel after coming first and how tired you feel when you lose. I was at a kids meet this weekend and saw a young lady crying. I asked her what was wrong she said she bettered her best time by 2 seconds but could not catch the winner.
Exhibit A-Barcelona 1992
As an avid 400 IMer, it just seems that even a 16 year old doesn't have that much energy at the end of the 400 IM. The rest of the field seems to be hanging on for dear life. Of course, the testing doesn't keep up with the latest doping methods. If she is clean as a whistle, I need to know how she has road runner speed at the end of a freaking 400 IM.
