Pan Pacs - Day 2 Finals

2010 Pan Pacs Day 2: Live Finals Results, Recaps, and Analysis, As the Races Happen

I love the swimmerscircle blog. Please click on the link above for their wrap up of everything that happened today, including Ryan's two events the 400 IM and the 4 x 200 free relay. Ryan won gold in the 400 IM with a world-best time of 4:07.59. For the first 150m, Ryan was ahead of world-record pace. He slowed down quite a bit at the end when he knew he was going to win, probably because he knew he had to swim the relay shortly thereafter.

The 4 x 200 relay was swum by Michael Phelps, Peter Vanderkaay, Ricky Berens with Ryan taking the anchor leg. The time was 7:03.84. The silver and bronze were won by Japan and Australia respectively and they were more than 6 seconds behind. Ryan's split was 1:45.27, which is amazing given he just swam the 400 IM.

Tomorrow I will be going to Irvine to see the races in person! I'm really excited.
