Brendan's Weekend Meet Results and "the Stupid Greek"
Don't you love the way that title looks up there? Meet Results? For Brendan?! Me too but it's not as exciting as it may first appear (suckazz). Brendan swam the 200y Breaststroke and the 100y Back this weekend at the November Unclassified meet held at UT. He won the backstroke with a time of 52.77 and DQ'd in the breast because his goggles slipped and he stopped at the 50 to fix them. Same thing happened at Gulf States a few years back, the first meet I ever saw him swim at. Anyway, they don't list his final time because of the DQ but it was somewhere around the 2 minute mark. Split times were: 28.67 - 58.88 - 1:30.12 - ???. You can see the full results here.
Be sure to check out the Timed Prelims Red Carpet video coverage of the Golden Goggles today. Yeah, you didn't know they were so cute did you? I foresee many more visits to their site in your future. In all seriousness, they did a great job and it was a lot of fun to watch.
And in other happy news, Craig Lord from Swim News reports that the Greek pair of Asterios Kalyvas and Romanos Alyfantis (who will forever be known as "the Stupid Greek" now, thank you Markus) were both DQ'd in the prelims of 200 Breaststroke at the Berlin World Cup this weekend. THANK YOU GERMANY!
I think that calls for a Tuesday morning happy dance.

I saw some goggle malfunctions this weekend too. Someone needs to come out with a denture grip sort of thing for goggles.
I'm glad to see that Asterios Kalyvas and Romanos Alyfantis were DSQ in Germany. I can't wait to watch the meet to see in action. Thank goodness the fair swimmer won this. When I was at the Nike Cup with weekend, I was very carefully watching the IMs and breaststroke races. It is SO obvious when a breaststroke kick is done properly. You can easily see the knees come apart and the feet go out to the side. I am glad that the Big West hasn't fallen prey to this epidemic of dolphin kicking.
Okay ladies, those Timed Prelim boys are supersweet and superhot. The video is really fun. The got some fun stuff on there. Love how they ask such random questions.
Aaron looks great in Armani. Brendan does too, but unfortunately we don't get to see him in his gorgeous suit nearly often enough. Maybe he will just pose and let one of his roommates take photos for us. YAY!
About swimmers in suits. At Nike Cup this weekend Stanford was competing. They travel to away meets in beautiful suits. When they finished swimming on the last night of competition, they came out of the locker rooms in gorgeous suits. What a treat. It is so nice to see these guys dressed too!
