I have known Rich for many years and, in my opinion, his performances in Atlanta were definately the over-all highlight of the meet. He puts alot of pressure on himself, but, also there is a lot of high expectations from his peer group to deal with. He was ready!!! Totally focused and one great swim just piled on to the next. I wonder is Cullen Jones can go 22.1 in the year 2050 or Rowdy 15 years from now!!!!
I salute you my friend,

Here's a few questions for you
when I look at the history of your top 10 times over time
USMS Top Ten Swims by Richard T Abrahams
It appears to me that in a few cases you have years that you tend to emphasize more than others. Particularly just before & just after aging up. I'd love to hear your comments.
Did your times from Nats surprise you or did you pretty much expect to be in those ranges?
Were your spring 2010 workout times indicating you were on the verge of a breakthrough for Nats?
If I asked you when you were 45 yrs old if you thought there was any chance you could go 22.10 in the 50 fr 20 years later as a 65 year old?
What would you have said?
What do you need to do to go faster?
What difference do you think a full blue seventy provides over a jammer for you?
