I called this weeks ago, that someone was going to have a great prelim swim and we would be stuck between kicking someone off the relay or not putting the fastest 4 out there. I thought Lochte would be faster because I believed everything about him not being close to fully tapered at trials and that he was going put on a performance for the ages like he said he was going to do. This is another reason why the trials need to be earlier. If everyone was fully tapered and had to earn their relay spot, the outcome of this race could have been different because the coaches would have had a lot better idea of who the best 4 were.
