He said in the on deck interview that he thinks he may have messed up by looking at the scoreboard for his split after the turn. I have no idea whether this has any bearing, but the previous 2 evenings swims, he did not change suits in between and tonight he did. Based on his reaction on seeing his time, I think he was *really* going after this one. Again, just a novice observation, but Bensen led most if not all the way on the front 50 (since he's a local boy, the place was going wild).
