I thought this quote was very interesting:

Lochte said his times seem slow because of an adjustment in his training towards more weightlifting and less swimming. He also hasn’t shaved and didn’t taper before the event. He said in time, his marks should be better than ever.

“As I get older, there’s less focus on swimming and more focus on the little things outside of the pool,” he said. “My coach says this is the best he’s seen me in the past four years.”
