Do you have a good luck charm that you take with you to every meet? A lucky pair of underwear you sleep in the night before? What's a superstition of yours when there's a big meet coming up. Do you have a certain meal you always eat or something you just have to do to swim right? Look forward to hearing what you do to bring yourself good fortune!!

I didn't feel the water once before a race (I had already raced in that pool that day) and my first thought when I dove in was HOLY CRAP (might not have been crap) this water is COLD! I always feel the water now.
Things I noticed the "elite" do ... Peirsol jumps out on his back races jumps up in the water twice swims fast into the wall then gets into the starting position.
Phelps does the double arm swing thing.
Steph, I totally wiggle my fingers until I hear take your mark. How can anyone stand there totally still?!
