American Records Fall!

I've watched American Records fall 3 times already! The Womens 200 IM, the Mens 400 Free, and now the Mens 100 Breast! There is so much excitement in here its insane! Its so much more involved than the Olympic Trials because athletes and coaches are on deck so there is even more cheering!

I've seen pretty much every Olympian and noteable fast swimmer I even know about, I just past Olympians Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff on deck. Katie Hoff is getting a muscle rubdown 5 feet from where I'm sitting. I had a good conversation with Olympian and friend Allison Schmitt when I arrived on deck. I congratulated her on her Olympic performances and we traded race information so I'll be sure to catch her swims. I also talked with Emily Brunemann who apparently just made the USA World Champ team in the 5k open water swim!

I've gotten to see some amazing swimming so far and its only Day 1!
