So, as we walk onto the deck tonight, we ran into Mike…literally. He was counting laps for our favorite Vanderkaay during his 800 Free.

He was immersed in conversation, but still said hello and waved. We ended up sitting next to him while on deck too, but that’s another story for another post. And kiwi shall the honors of writing that one.

Anyway, just wanted to let you we got in safe, and were politely acknowledged by “The Phelps“. I’m glad the boy has learned. Now if he only stop hovering…

Okay, this is going to be a really sad, dull post, but I am too scared to really post quotes; pictures (or whatever it may be) because I don’t want to mess anything up and have Suz fix it before she leaves for the meet.  So, with that being said…

HAVE FUN IN MISSOURI, SUZ AND KIWI! 

Hope you two have a safe flight and have a blast!  Think of all the SWiM AiDS while you are down there!

It’s sad that it has to be Black History Month before a swimmer (any swimmer) can snag a main spotlight feature on ESPN’s website. But we’ll take what we can get! Check out the story on Brielle White here. She has a really great story!

P.S. Can someone please sponsor this woman! A post-grad and elite swimmer’s training schedule is hard enough without also having to work a 9-5 job! Quick, someone get TYR on the phone!

This is simply a continuation of our first “Who Wore It Best” post, where we featured 2 celebs wearing the same dress Kaitlin did to the 2006 Golden Goggles.

While watching “What Not To Wear”, I spotted “the dress” again. One of the show’s co-hosts, Stacy London (whom I love) was sporting it as well.

Man, can Kaitlin pick ‘em or what?
