More Duel in the Pool

4. Will Ryan Lochte Rest?
If I held a magic 8-ball and asked him this question, my guess is the response would be, “All sources point to no.” Ryan Lochte is the best swimmer in the world, no doubts about it. But a few weeks ago at the AT&T Winter National Championships, Lochte looked awfully tired. You can bet Lochte’s coach Greg Troy is working Lochte like a dog, preparing him for the Olympic Trials. Still, the Duel in the Pool will have some significant media coverage and will be broadcast live on TV. Will Lochte rest? Or even skip a morning workout for a day? Or will he get beat in International competition, and then have to answer a barrage of questions like: “Ryan! Are you worried! Did something happen! Are you hurt!” No. He’s training for the Olympics.
