2012 Olympics: Swimming

Wow! That means Janet Evans is now off the American Record books. This was the last to go down of those great records. i put her 50 splits for the 800 into the attached spreadsheet (acutally developed this spreadsheet for 1650 splits and tweaked it for the 800 - don't pay attention to the splits/analysis beyond 800). Her splits for 100-200-400-500 are shown, and at the bottom of these colums the average splits for each distance are shown in blue. Her cumualtive times and the variances from average are on the right side of the spreadsheet with spits under average in black and the splits above average in red. She didn't back end this race at all and took the first 250 out faster than average, then dropped off her average pace for the balance of the race until the final 50m.
