Incredible!

I have a lot of memories of watching the Olympics as a kid. Funny, not so many memories of watching them as an adult. Maybe I had more freetime at age 9? LOL!

At any rate (and yes, I've copyrighted "at any rate"--so that I can use it as my go-to transition on the blog anytime I please). . .

I have watched every one of Phelps' races this Olympics and every single time I'm left with the same feeling--WTC! (What the crap?)

These are the things I'm thinking:

* How come he's so good? Doesn't he get tired? How can he race pre-qual races and the final events so close together?

* Does he smell like chlorine?

* Why didn't his sisters swim?

* He's really tall.

* Will he always be in shape?

* If I started now, could I pull a Dara Torres and hit the 2012 London Olympics?
