Even Michael wasn’t completely pleased with his races that week, but how many times do you see a picture of someone winning the US National Championships with nobody else in the picture. Still an amazing athlete.

What visit to Cali would be complete without hangin’ with the Davo? Handing out awards, and constantly surrounded by his friends, around the pool is the place for Dave. Now if only I could get that VIP pass away from him, maybe I could get some water. 🙂

Good luck at Pan Pacs guys. Congrats to Aaron on his victory last night, and here’s wishing Brendan even FASTER swims over the next couple days. GO IAN TOO!!!!!
