Duel in the Pool

Well the Duel is Tuesday in Sydney. The first race is a MIXED 400 relay. (I'm guessing free though it doesn't say) How cool? I've been waiting for one of these. So who do you throw up there? I predict at least a couple of WRs!

  • It was interesting to see how the times were. Lenton's 100 Free and Jensen's 400 Free were the only really outstanding times of the meet. Lenton's was an unsual circumstance with her chasing Phelps. It will also be interesting to see what FINA does with that time. Of course in USMS, its not uncommon for there to be mixed gender heats so I don't see any issue with swimming next to Phelps. I suspect having smooth water with only 2 teams in the pool helped her time also. Wasn't there a WR set by Popov in a time trial in the 50 free that was recognized by FINA.
