Here are the psyche sheets for the upcoming trials, should be some really great races..Check out the 400IM numbers 22 and 77. These are two kids of former pro triathletes, both who were off the front swimmers. Hinshaw and Mackle were two of the fastest triathlete swimmers in the sport. In fact the Hinshaws were a family dynasty, with Brad holding the ironman swim record until Lars Jorgensen came along and broke it. Rob Mackel married one of the top women water women in the world, a lifeguard champion and lifelong surfer, whose father was one of the original California guys to pioneer Hawaii surfing in the 50's and 60's. Seems the apple does not fall far from the tree after all..
The Phelps/Lochte swims are going to be epic too. I would not bet one cent on either of them, as it is a coin flip in my mind. I think some are counting Phelps out since his absence to the highest levels of the sport, and Lochte's similar rise in his absence. But just looking at times, Phelps does not have to get any faster, just get back to where he was. The rest have to make jumps in PR's to compete at that level, but of course that is what trials are for, new PR's..
