WTF?
This is Missy Franklin's US Olympic Trials Schedule
(along with a few guesses for her off events)
she'll definitely race the 1 & 2 fr & bk, but she has a couple bottlenecks where she has back to back important races & not much time to rest. those day's she'll prioritize her FINAL races, but swim semifinal races hard and fast enough to make finals.

this is her bottleneck, she must make the 200 free finals but doesn't have much time before the 100 back finals. She's done many back to back races at meets to prepare for this.

this is her other bottleneck, she won't get much rest between her 2 bk semi & her 1 free final, she'll cruise her 2bk, it will wound her some. She should be top 2 in 1 free & def top 6

An open call out to armchair quarterbacks/Phelps speculators .... :)
So I guess it's safe to say that Phelps is swimming the 400 IM at the OT.
At this point, I don't see him swimming less than 8 events again at London.
But wait... there's more. An update:
Phelps Breaks His First World Record - YouTube
About 2:05, Phelps says this weekend's 400 IM will probably be his last 400 IM ever.
Interesting...

Interesting lane configuration, 0 -9 (opposite of Greensboro). So if you swim this July and you're in lane 0, remember -it's next to 1, not 9.I believe this is because for semis and finals they are swimming in 8 lanes with the outside lanes (0 and 9) empty.
