Was anyone else able to catch the Olympic triathlon TV coverage? I'm watching it right now, and I'm amazed at these gals' ability to swim a straight line in the open water. (And damn, are they fast!)
The commentator is talking 10-12 seconds for the swim/bike transition. Wow.
Watching distance running, however, is kind of a snore. I tried to watch the women's marathon last night and the men's 10k earlier today, and couldn't get through more than ten minutes of either.

I didn't get to see the open water swim, but got to see much of the pool swimming. The strokes, the way they look on top and under water - wow!
The saying in on of the articles I read regarding swimming "Don't get in your own way" kept ringing a sore bell!
The athletes of all events impress me so! Happy Watching!
