Austin Grand Prix - Friday and Saturday Results

In typical fashion, Ryan is swimming very tired in January and competing in a Speedo brief, while other swimmers (except his Florida teammates) are wearing jammers.

100m Free

Ryan placed first in the B Final of the 100m free with a time of 51.09.  The A Final was won by Nathan Adrian in a very fast (especially for January) time of 48.32.  Ricky Berens was second with a 49.35 and Jimmy Feigen was third with a 50.01.

100m Fly

It was a close race, but Ryan finished fourth in the 100m fly with a time of 54.14 (Eugene Godsoe first in 53.54, Bobby Bollier second in 53.57 and Dan Madwed third in 53.7 ).



200m Free

Ryan led for 3/4 of the race, but ended up finishing third in the 200m free with a time of 1:50.19.  Ryan really died on the fourth lap.  His split was 29.42 compared to 27.43 and 27.77 on the second and third laps respectively.  (Ricky Berens first in 1:48.39 with a killer turn, Michael Klueh second with a 1:49.48).  It bears repeating:  wow what a third turn by Ricky Berens.  His turns have improved tremendously.



50m Free
Ryan scratched the 50 free, which isn't surprising given that he has no speed right now due to heavy training.
