Thoughts after seeing the Olympic swimming trials ...

Their speed makes me want to cry.

But, holy mother of GOD, those guys' shoulders!!! Ridiculous! And, I do not mind looking at them in their little spandex-y oufits...   

A lot of them wear those one piece thingies, though, so no worries about junk falling out.

I kept wondering...

...so you spend $500 on a suit, shave all your body hair, wear two swim caps and practice, practice, practice all to get super streamlined...

...and then some of the girls were wearing necklaces and earings...????

You've obviously not yet met Mr. 2goggs.

Yet you seemed to have noticed.

Last night, at least I think it was last night, they were showing slow-motion footage of him dolphin kicking under water (after diving off the block, I think) and then doing butterfly. Oh. My. God.

Let's just say it made me think about doing VERY naughty things to one of those swimmer boys...

My first thought was that it was strange they would do the Olympic trials in a 25 meter pool.  It was only later I realized that using super-human strength and speed, it was a 50 meter pool.

They question is - can they juggle? 

Yeah...that made me sad when the women did 400 meters in a bit over 4 minutes. My most recent 400 meter time (in practice, but I was kinda haulin') was 8:22...yeah...

x2 .

when i was watching i spent a lot of time saying, "oh my gawd, look at that body, hooooootttttttt!!!" while my dear husband just rolled his eyes at me.  he felt better when i told him he has a swimmers body too, just not quite so cut .

did any of you notice that several of the swimmers have an uneven stroke cadence, phelps being the most obvious one?  it was quite interesting to me, i was thinking of trying it just to see if it would make me fast .
