Ryan's events:

100m Free - Event 4 (Friday)

I think he'll scratch at least one event each day.  My guess is he'll scratch the 400m Free, 200m Back and 100m Breast.  Just hope he doesn't scratch the 400m IM.

Psych Sheet for the Mel Zajac Meet

The psych sheet for the Mel Zajac meet in Vancouver, BC can be found here:  Mel Zajac Meet psych sheet

Ryan's events are:

200m back - Event 3
200m free - Event 7
50m back - Event 18
200m IM - Event 22
100m free - Event 35
100m back - Event 37

It looks like Ryan is the only U.S. Olympian entered in this meet.  Canadian Olympians entered in the meet are Tommy Gossland (4x100 free relay in London) and Scott Dickens (100 breast, 200 breast and 4 x 100 medley relay).

Ryan's entry times, which appear to be made up and a bit higher than his fastest times (i.e. 1:53.00 in 200 back, 1:45.00 in 200 free, 49.00 in 100 free and 54.00 in 100 back) are much faster than most of the other swimmers entered in the meet.

Should be interesting to watch.  The meet is supposed to be live streamed at http://swimcanweb.tv/en/live-webcast

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Spruce Creek product Ryan Lochte finished sixth in the 100 men's backstroke at the Arena Grand Prix in Charlotte, more than a second behind winner Andrew teDuits.
TeDuits claimed the men's 100 back in 54.43.
Lochte swam in only one event on the night.
“The time was good for where I'm at,” said Lochte, who only resumed full-time training in the past two weeks after wrapping his reality TV show. “The place (stunk).”
Lochte has already gotten a reality check from his coach, Gregg Troy.
“He yelled at me. He gave it to me good,” Lochte said. “He was like, ‘You know what? You've been messing up this whole year. If you don't watch it, you're not going to make worlds.' I trust him with my life. He's the world's best coach. I'm going to listen to him. It's my time to get in gear.”
But Lochte acknowledged there's no way he'll be in the same condition he was last summer, when he won two golds, two silvers and a bronze in what was actually considered a bit of a disappointing Olympic performance.
“I don't really know what to expect,” Lochte said. “I'm not going to be in top peak shape. I just haven't done it this year. But the times and the effort I've been putting in are getting up there.”
He'll compete at two more meets — a Canadian event, then the Grand Prix stop in Santa Clara — before the U.S. world team trials in June.
“A month ago, I was a little nervous,” Lochte said. “But now, I'm feeling better. The past two weeks have been really good. It's given me my confidence back.”
