What's up with msgrupp? I love all aspects of swimming and going to events such as this serves to pump me up even more. Anyhow, the meet was a great time. No sooner than had we sat down in the bleachers and Natalie Coughlin sits down about 3 rows ahead of us to get ready for her race. Unfortunately I was too close to take many pictures without being overly-intrusive and I chose to leave her alone as she was preparing for the 50 Free Heat. Shortly thereafter Mr. Phelps, Peter Vanderkaay and Bob Bowman are parked in front of us. Without question there were plenty of photo opportunities for my wife! Anyhow, the swimming was quite good and Ryan Lochte taking the win in the 200IM heat was a real crowd pleaser even though it was not a final. Does anybody know what the deal is with Peirsol? He failed to qualify for his signature race. After I had been preaching to my wife about how incredible this guy is in backstroke he truly dissapointed us. Brendan Hansen was absolutely incredible and made it seem like the race was staged. Competition must be scarce for the guy. The facility was incredible and I truly wish I had a place like that around the corner from my house.
