He had motivation, didn't he? He had to beat his fiancé's time.
True Story: My first ever 200 back was at 2004 DCRP Meet where I went out fast and then some f-ing girl in the lane next to me caught and beat me on the last 50. The next year, after we finally met in March and started dating, we realized MOLLIE was "that f-ing girl," and I proposed a bet: 200 back at the same meet - loser takes winner out to dinner. It was a win-win: I was guaranteed a second date with this awesome girl. Well that bet race was the last time I beat her.
Until last week :)
