It was awesome! I didn't see the medal ceremony - but there would have been 8 American's on the podium for the silver I presume? <br /><br />With Relays - our order, 2nd strongest leads off, then 4th, then 3rd, then fastest. Or the first would be the one who was worst at changeovers/fastest off a race start, or who didn't find the adrenaline of waiting worked for them. Me, I'm a big adrenaline swimmer, and was great at bringing it home.RJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-24661494346141935712012-07-28T15:39:40.634-05:002012-07-28T15:39:40.634-05:00Ahhh!

The Olympics! I didn't see the need to tell her it was 2008 Olympics! Also, thank you so much for linking the "Call Me Maybe" video. The 1 minute mark has made me a Ryan Lochte fan for life. He just made my "cheat list." Don't feel sorry for my husband - he added the entire synchronized swimming team to his list because, and I quote, "It's synchronized, Melissa.

There is nothing more beautiful to watch, and the mens bodies don't hurt ;)! I think one of my biggest life regrets is never swimming competitively. I still look at adult swim teams in town and then think, 'when are you going to find the time?' I guess I'll live vicariously!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-74989778429072991132012-07-27T11:14:35.760-05:002012-07-27T11:14:35.760-05:00I would love to hear (well read in this case) how ...I would love to hear (well read in this case) how the swimmers' order is established in a relay.
