It's official. I have it. Spent the whole of last week glued to Omega timing, USMS Discussion Forums and video replays. That, coupled with the fact that I couldn't do any serious swims because the pool was crawling with kids on the first week of summer holidays and the gym was closed for roof repairs.
Now it is back to reality. No more vicarious enjoyment through the superhuman results of Phelps et al. It is just me and the water. And, to be honest, I feel old...and slow! Anyone want to start a support group?!!!

Although close races can be exciting it's also kind of cool if you can tell who won, or at least who medaled, without relying on the electronic timing, which is often not the case with the 50 free.
Watching to see if Phelps will catch Crocker is usually fun. Watching Crocker pull away from Phelps at 2005 Worlds for a WR was a pretty great race to watch.
