Ryan placed 3rd in the 200 back with a time of 1:53.82, .11 seconds faster than his previous personal best in Beijing.
Aaron Peirsol won with a new WR time of 1:51.92. Ryosuke Irie was second in 1:52.51.
Ryan was in 1st after the first 100 and in a close 2nd after the 150 (and a full second ahead of Irie) 
but then he died in the last 50 with a time of 30.14. I will need to watch his interview after the race, but hope nothing bad happened. His legs just may have been really tired from yesterday.

Michael Phelps: 1:44.49
Ricky Berens: 1:44.13
Dave Walters: 1:45.47
Ryan Lochte: 1:44.46.
Ryan has now swum in 4 events and won 4 medals, 3 gold and 1 bronze. His last event is the 400 IM on Sunday. Hopefully he can place 1st and have the most successful long course meet of his life!
