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?!!!
Try getting a hold of anything by Bud Greenspan (ie, Bud Greenspan's Olympic coverages, multi years, mix of sports). They are totally, totally awesome!!! All stories so inspiring and especially anything about swimming - one about Rowdy Gaines.
Don't know if you can rent them; I taped a bunch from HBO or showtime, I think.
