BTW, here time from the master meet in the 800 would have been top 10 at the Santa Clara Grand Prix yesterday! Wow! And Janet swam alone in her heat.

Her straight arm recovery is not what we coach BUT you can not argue with the results !!!!!! when it comes to swimming what the swimmer does UNDERwater matters way more than what the swimmer does above the water

She used to have a much higher turnover. She looked like she was holding back, honestly. Maybe she was working on her breathing, or distance per stroke or something.

Yes, but which Masters meet will that be? No female (and only a few men), in any age group, can give her a run in those two events just based off the times she put up.....so you can pretty much assume US Nationals.

I'm surprised no one swam against her. If I lived in Cali and knew she was swimming, I would have entered just to say I swam against her. According to this article, 2 elderly swimmers scratched - I'm guessing once they found out who they were up against, they decided to give her center stage. Had I known she would be on her own, I would have gone, only to be able to say "I got beat by Janet Evans." She would have lapped me about 9 times but hey, I would have been happy to be swimming alongside her. I started swimming in the summer of 92 - watching her in the Olympics made me want to swim and she's the reason I swim to this day. :agree: www.latimes.com/.../la-sp-0612-janet-evans-comeback-20110612,0,864556.story

the plan is to compete in another masters meet and then decide whether to go to Nationals in August at Palo AltoYes, but which Masters meet will that be?

Janet's split times from last weekend show she closed in about 32 and a half each race. Plenty of gas left in the tank...

For now, the plan is to compete in another masters meet and then decide whether to go to Nationals in August at Palo Alto. I guess that rules out Auburn :(

Nice article, I didn't realize that Brian Goodell swam in that meet too. So did Ed Moses!

I'm guessing once they found out who they were up against, they decided to give her center stage. More likely: pre-meet sign-ups were light, as they sometimes are for early-season meets, and as they might be in the first year a meet is held; plus, it was a cool day with unseasonal rain. The 800, the last race of the day, was followed by one heat of the 1500, which had four swimmers. Earlier in the day, she swam the 400 free with five others - including 52-year-old Brian Goodell, who swam 4:44 behind her 4:23.

Almost 10 years ago, Tom Dolan was supposed to be in my heat of the 400 im at US Open, but he scratched. Very disappointing! I find those sorts of things really fun.

Better start training more/harder/smarter/etc. :) Working on it. First I have to get back to pushing off with 2 feet. Right ankle is still not supposed to push off.

By the end of the summer, all of the women's 40-44 freestyle records could be held by either Dara Torres or Janet Evans...Not sure about Janet's but Dara's records are fastest of all age groups... Go USMS swimmers - ALL of us! I'm so psyched she is back! I wish more of our Olympians would come back, get in a bit of shape again and have a little fun!

I will admit...she was more then impresssive this weekend. To go out swimming alone, at a meet that means nothing, is impressive. Given a bit of competition this weekend (even a fast male swimmer) I think she could have shaved another second or two.

I wonder what other meets she plans to swim this summer? It sure would be cool if she made it to Auburn!

hrietz — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:08:37 GMT

Great, that means she's already in my age group - along with Dara Torres. By the end of the summer, all of the women's 40-44 freestyle records could be held by either Dara Torres or Janet Evans...Not sure about Janet's but Dara's records are fastest of all age groups...

Janet made the local TV news in Seattle this morning. They mentioned she set a new World record for the 35-39 age group and showed a short clip of her swimming.
