She had a great meet setting PR's in the 200 and 400 as well. Too bad the 1500 is not an Olympic event for women but glad that we can keep the 1500 record in the US. What's interesting to me is it looked like she had the long FS Pro on. I have always only seen her racing in the regular recordbreaker suit.
I think from the start of the race she was out to break the record last night. And it seemed like many on the deck knew it, too. The whole Nadadore team (the host team), as well as several other teams, were on their feet from before the start of the race. And the announcer was talking record after the first 100.
I also timed during her 400 and 200 swims. She looked like she was in the zone for the 1500. Very confident, loose and almost had a swagger behind the blocks. Very different feeling from her before that race compared to her other swims. You almost knew something special was going to happen.
From about the middle of the race on, there was a deafening wave of sound that followed her from one end of the pool to the other. Almost like "the wave" at a sporting event. But way better and more electric. I was only a few feet from the official when the bell sounded for the final lap, but I couldn't hear it!
