It was an explosive start to swimming trials tonight, with a new american record, and more than a body length win on the competition by Alison Schmitt tonight. It was exciting!!! except, I don't know, this year it seems to me like the winners and everyone else are just no where near each other, and it mildly concerns me about who will come up in the future, the second place should at least be closer than a body length way, you'd hope- because they are going to the Olympics too.
And then the men. mmm love watching the men. Swimmers are amazing. Just sayin. these guys are all indoor swimmers, and some of them are from places like Michigan. Do they all go tanning? because they are all really tan, and I think at least some of them should be pasty white unless they fake bake. I'm not complaining, I am just curious about that. I mean, we aren't that far into summer, and if you're not from California or Florida you should probably still be a little white, right?
Oh and Phelps got the "FASTEST TIME IN THE WORLD THIS YEAR" they are still loving that phrase. It still just makes me think, man this is a slow and crappy year. Its like, if they can't get a new record to scream about they need something that sounds exciting, but think about that, you are just saying this year is less awesome than other years. I suppose it could be because they banned the supper fast swimsuits of the last Olympics, still, I think they can find something ELSE to say instead of the same phrase they have now said four nights in a row in three out of four heats.
OOO its the Proctor and Gamble commercial about moms. I love that commercial, because moms of athletes are awesome. I know this, because as an athlete, my mom had to drive me to a skating rink at 3:30 in the morning so I could be there at five, and drive me to the rink a half hour away after school, until I turned 16 and could drive myself. Even then she still had to do all sorts of stuff to help me get costumes together and stuff. (Figure skating for those wondering my sport). So I love that commercial, the moms deserve one. if you haven't seen it, check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NScs_qX2Okk
Women's 200 m Fly, its so interesting to watch the fly, its so graceful and they look like they are going way slower than they are. When I do the butterfly, sometimes I mess it up really bad and get out of rhythm, and it just becomes like slamming my face into the water because my timing is off. That didn't use to happen, but now I am really horrible at the fly. One of these women breaths to the side, I don't know how you would do that on the fly, maybe if I did I would do better. Adams won the semi final #1, and I think she had a decent lead, even though it was a bit more relaxed pace than a final.
The second semi has a 14 year old, she gets a personal best every race. I like hearing that better than "Fastest time of the year" that's pretty amazing she's trying for the Olympics at 14, at fourteen I was worried about my friends throwing animal parts at each other after dissection in science class, not trying to get to the Olympics. Actually that's not completely true, at 14 I was very worried about how I would get to the Olympics, but that was mainly because the chance of me making it wasn't at all probable.
You wanna know how you can go to the Olympics? Move to a city that gets the games, and become a volunteer. That's how I made it. Or you could move to an apartment complex called "Olympic Village, or live on the Olympic Peninsula or visit the Olympic Mountains. So yes, I went to the Olympics, and I stayed in the Olympic Village, but not in the way I wanted .
I would just like to end this blog tonight by saying Ryan Lochte is the most adorable yet hottest swimmer of all time.
