Charlotte Ultraswim - Sunday Finals

Ryan swam great tonight, finishing first in the 200 back and second in the 100 free. Both races were exciting and he came from behind to win.

Ryan won the 200m back with a time of 1:58.93. I think Ryan's time is very good considering how hard he is training and he was wearing a speedo brief. Ryan's time would have placed him 3rd in last year's Ultraswim finals, even though most of the swimmers last year were wearing high tech suits.

Ryan tied with Peter Vanderkaay for second in the 100m free with a time of 50.29. The winner was Gideon Louw at 50.09. Ryan again swam in a speedo brief and not jammers like most of the other swimmers. Ryan's time would have placed him 6th in last year's Ultraswim with high tech suits and Fred Bousquet.
