Yes swim fans, just when you thought it was safe to return to your job, your family and your friends remember Nats start on Tuesday! That's right folks, your National Team will stumble into the Avery Aquatic Center in Stanford jet-lagged, disoriented and exhausted. I expect Ryan Lochte to sit his ass down, open a huge bag of In n Out, crack open a case of Bud and order Coach Troy to scratch everything. At least Coughlin and Phelps had the wherewithal to just go home. Our very own Chris DeSantis will also be on scene without the distraction of Team Denmark.
Here's the psych sheet: http://www.usaswimming.org/_Rainbow/Documents/26b81e02-e130-480b-8e0a-ddeafd6d832b/psych%20sheets_11Nats.pdf
Doesn't mean much for Coughlin since she lives about 45 minutes away. And surprising that besides Coughlin and Phelps, among the Worlds team members only Soni, Leverenz, and Vollmer are skipping the meet. Wasn't it nice of Lochte to enter everything when he's just gonna scratch most of it? I want him to swim 100 free and 100 back, but beyond that, I could care less. Bring on the 100 breast!
ReplyDeleteAt this point Ryan should have free range to do whatever he wants, haha. I wouldn't be shocked if he balanced that Bud can on the top of his forehead during the 200 back, while still chewing the last of his 2nd double-double... and probably winning.
ReplyDeleteVollmer is scratching? She's listed on the psych sheet in the 100m fly, 50m free and 100m free. Oh yeah, and getting married in a few weeks, and that whole altitude training thing... The schedule these young athletes keep makes me tired by association.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'd expect Lochte has better taste in beer than that.
ReplyDeleteReally? I think as long as it's cold and available he's game.
ReplyDeleteOh whoops on Vollmer. No, I don't believe she is scratching. I saw that Coughlin and Leverenz weren't swimming and just assumed that none of the Cal women who went to Shanghai were. Ignored the fact that she is the first person listed on the whole entire psych sheet.
