I'll be honest with you all, I'm 30 and last night I was up until 4 AM this morning. I was just playing risk with some friends, but this morning I woke up and I felt horrible, and I looked in the mirror and I looked horrible, and I said to myself, Girl, you are 30. Too old, you have to stop doing this. If I have these moments where I feel like I am incredibly too old for the amount of fun I have, and too tired for things, I can not even imagine how Dara Torres at 45 feels the day after a national or international heat. That said, She is my HERO for even trying. Tomorrow she will try and I hope she succeeds. They Just showed Lochte, after three days of intense swimming struggling to get out of the pool. I can only imagine how tired they are. It really is incredible how many events him and Phelps swim in.
Already in swimming tonight we saw some awesome action as Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte went head to head again, in a final. This one finally lived up to the hype. They swam all out, and were side by side the entire time. Then Natalie Coughlin barely qualified for the Olympics via the Relay team by getting 6th in the 100m relay. I am so glad she did, because she has been working so hard all trials and just having it elude her, and it will be her 3rd Olympics.
You know as inspiring as it is that the new people make it, there is really something to be said for the old guard that still make it. I completely missed Amanda Beard at the trials, because she didn't make it out of her qualifying heat. I had so looked for ward to watching the girl with the Teddy bear become woman/mom who had been through heck and back, swim. But that's part of the games, sometimes the ones you love just don't make it. I am glad she tried though, wish NBC would have showed at least a high light of such a great so I could have seen it, on the regular channel.
The commentating for swimming is so refreshing after watching the almost silent gymnastics earlier. Either they have gotten better throughout the week, or the gymnastics commentating was just that bad. OH, PS Happy Birthday Michael Phelps!!!
