2009 Grand Prix

I can tell you there's nothing impressive about Cesar Cielo swimming a 1:40 in the 200 free! I know how fast he is, I was commenting on the fact that he made up a little over one second on the last 100!

Eric Shanteau had an awesome 100 *** he wore blue seventy his 27.36 2nd 50 was awesome Event 16 Men 100 Yard Breaststroke === Preliminaries === 1 Shanteau, Eric 25 Longhorn Aquatic 53.07 52.26 AUTO 24.90 52.26 (27.36) 2 Polyakov, Vlad 25 Coral Springs Sw 52.25 52.98 CONS 24.82 52.98 (28.16) 3 Steninger, Bart 22 Tucson Ford-AZ 53.08 53.46 CONS 25.58 53.46 (27.88) 4 Lowe, Matthew 23 Longhorn Aquatic 53.16 53.58 CONS 25.26 53.58 (28.32) 5 Kahlin, Mathias 21 Unattached-SE 53.72 54.09 CONS 25.44 54.09 (28.65) 6 Lavery, Nathan 22 Texas A &M-GU 53.64 54.13 CONS 25.22 54.13 (28.91) 7 Friedland, Eric 18 Texas-ST 53.90 54.16 CONS 25.76 54.16 (28.40) 7 Donohue, Kevin 23 West Virginia Aq 53.07 54.16 CONS 25.59 54.16 (28.57) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bart Steninger formerly of the Elko Anacondas Swim Team, is making his former coach (my wife) and teammates proud.

My daughter made the E final with a time of 1:09.88 in the 100 ***, nearly two seconds faster than she swam two weeks ago in San Antonio (and over twelve seconds faster than the fall of 2007 when she joined Longhorn Aquatics).

My daughter made the E final with a time of 1:09.88 in the 100 ***, nearly two seconds faster than she swam two weeks ago in San Antonio (and over twelve seconds faster than the fall of 2007 when she joined Longhorn Aquatics). Congrats to her! That's awesome!

Dara is just downright crazy. Seems like she pretty much handed her competition the backhand! You have to wonder - is she just a "freak of nature" or will other women (and men) start to stay competitive into their late 30's and 40's.

What happened with Keri Hehn in the 200 ***?

(I was sitting next to my wife). Ah, that would explain the lack of detail and/or photos. :afraid: :D

They have locker rooms and bathroooms at the TSC last time I checked.

Changed into or added on top of a non-tech suit? Changed into. As in, removed the training suit, then put on one or two technical suits. Still not entirely sure how they did it, as I was trying not to stare (I was sitting next to my wife). Creative use of towels and tee shirts, from what I could tell.
