Hey guys, I'm alive!
Resting up for my big last chance meet this weekend...I gotta make state! I made 44s in LC 50 breast from a push at practice, the state cut is 42.09....that's sunday. Tomorrow I'm lined up to swim 200 free, and 100 and 200 back. 200 back is the best :D
I'll post more next week.
That awkward moment when you’re swimming backstroke and you hit, grab, or poke the person in the lane next to you and instead of stopping, you both lift your heads and silently stare at each other as you continue to swim away.
I always accidentally touch the hot dude's butt....

Needed some motivation. Didnt really try at practice, still was first (kinda sad). Kathleen Ledecky has missed 4 practices in the past 4 years. Can I make it 3?
With so many people saying 2016 can't be done, all it takes is a little imagination.
Saturday Night Trials
AGHHHHH!!! SO PISSED AT YOU LOCHTE.
Actually, I'm not that pissed, at least he made the team. This is a warmup.
Women's 100 free bothered me. Amanda Weir got 5th. Odds are, she'll be swimming the relay, I'm pretty sure Missy or Schmitt will get pulled.
At least Weir has 50 free!
Mmm being patriotic never looked so good
SO. FLIPPIN. HOT.
Guess who turned in the fastest time in the world this year in the 200m IM semifinal?
Ryan Lochte :)
Finals tonite are gonna be epic!!!!!!!
I bet Lochte will get into the 1:54s. My parents are making me go to a party, so I might miss it :( We'll see, I can watch it on my phone.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… team PHELPS.
Lochte! Phelps is a loser! He had 2008!
Friday night Trials
First of all-
WTF MAN!!! SHANTEAU DIDNT MAKE 200m BREAST!!!! He deserves it the most!!! Screw you Burckle for having a better finish!
Second-
Amanda Weir has been looking good in 100 free, she's from my club, so if she makes it, that'll be the 3rd from my club at these trials.
Third-
KATHLEEN HERSEY MADE 200 FLY!! 2 people from my club are London Olympians!
Fourth-
Ryan Lochte and Tyler Clary placed 1st and 2nd in 200 back by about 2 seconds. Lochte had the 3rd fastest time in the world this year, and it didnt even look like he was trying until the last 50...imagine London!!!
Last-
Men's 100m freestyle was pretty neat. Mostly cuz I got to see Nathan Adrian's awesome face during the interview :) CUllen Jones got 2nd, and Lezak is going to London :D

Practice Friday, June 29
I'm gonna lie to myself and say it was easy. It was definitely not boring.
2x400s free 85% effort
4x50s sprint 1 of each
2x300s free negative split at the 150
4x100s sprint 1 of each
2x200s free 90% effort
4x150s descend each 50, one of each
Total- 3000 meters, or 2 miles
4000 if you count the warmup and warmdown.
I'm one of the only decent breaststrokers on our team, so I typically went first on the breaststroke, right? Well this one fast freestyler got super pissed at me when I passed him and we started yelling at each other (he's 5'0". I'm 5'7". It must have been funny to watch.) He looked like he was about to try to throw a punch at me (if he could hit my face), the only reason there wasnt major controversy is because I left in front of him for the freestyle...ignoring the situation....it was actually very funny.

Alrite then..
Trials last night
Holy poop, that was interesting to watch.
First off- I KNOW PHELPS WON 200 FREE. Tell me something I dont know, seriously. The times were 1:45.70 and 1:45.75. Close race
Then women's 100 back- there was no question about Missy franklin making the team, but there was competition between Coughlin and Bootsma. Personally, I thought Bootsma was gonna win, and I'm happy she did.
Men's 100 back- Grevers and Thoman, I think it was expected. MATT GREVERS WAS .10 OFF THE WORLD RECORD. AARON PEISOL WILL NOT OWN THE RECORD FOR MUCH LONGER.
Last but not least was women's 100 breast- BAHAHAHHA! Hardy didnt make it...Soni and Breeja Larson did. Breeja outtouched Soni, so Breeja made the medley and Soni didnt...I STILL CANT BELIEVE HARDY DIDNT MAKE IT! She has sprint freestyle tho.
Cant wait for tomorrow, Amanda Weir is swimming, she's from my club :D GO AMANDA!
Heh. You were wrong.
Well thanks, that's not immature at all! It was .05, and its the olympics that matter..
LOCHTE IS BETTER THAN PHELPS.
Everyone says Lochte will lose 200 free. This is it. This is Lochtes year. He's trained insanely since 2008. He doesnt spend his Sundays hauling monster truck tires around for nothing. No one trains harder than Lochte, you can tell from his horrible grand prix meets. I'm making a point. Don't be surprised if Lochte kicks some ass in London.
I'm not saying this because he's hot. That's what my best guy friend says, he's wrong. I'm saying this because Lochte deserves a gold medal in every event he swims. There is no swimmer greater than Ryan Lochte currently.
Eric Shanteau took second in the men’s 100m breaststroke. Shanteau finished in 1:00.15.
Love you Shanteau! Kick some ass in London!

THIS IS FOR ME. I CAN FEEL IT.
200 Free Final
Like if you think Lochte will win. ( I would like it if I werent posting it)
Reblog if you think Phelps will win.
Another swimmer to watch at the trials is Beeja Larson. 3 years ago she started swimming in her senior year in high school, this year was the second woman to break the 58 second barrier for 100m breast. And with 3 years of training is at the trials and got first in the 100 m both times so far, I believe she'll make it in the finals.
I agree, I saw her at the NCAA championships. I hope she makes the team, I love it when an underdog makes it.
