That was really a pretty ugly relay by the Americans and they need to thank Ricky Berens and Ryan Lochte big time. Phelps led off poorly and Walters swam a terrible race. His second 100 was seven seconds slower than his first. I didn't think Lochte looked great, but he did exactly what he needed to do and he has to be exhausted after the schedule he's had. I thought Berens looked great.
It was an ugly relay. I think guys knew it too judging from their reaction at the finish. Walters just plain died and Lochte worried me at his halfway mark... but he really got up and raced the last 50.
