Dave swam a wire-to-wire victory against a very strong field of swimmers, all in the middle of their season, and probably all working very hard. While not the fastest race of the year, it's important to realize where everyone is in their training, and compare them that way.
As always, winning any race is important, but when you can go up against Olympians, and World Record Holders, it's important to race well.
What a great job Dave did, we're very proud of him, and we hope you all are as well.
