Thoughts on the Michigan Grand Prix

I don't expect Ryan to swim his fastest times in April. He's usually in hard training and very tired. Plus, I still think he may have some kind of injury, specifically because he didn't swim any IMs (no breaststroke). Here's what The Swimmers Circle had to say:

5. Ryan Lochte went a 2:00.21 to take 2nd in this race. Though he is not typically a big in-season performer, but he actually went winless in 6 races this meet. Based on what we saw from both him and Vanderkaay, however, I think that the elite group in Gainesville is putting in some pretty vicious yardage right now, so to hang tough through the 200 back on the last race was as well as could have been expected.
