let the athletes begin...

Finally, the fish bowl is drying up. Swimming is just about over, which means the Athletic (track & field) portion of the Olympic Games are finally starting. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching swimming. I dated a girl in high school who swam and I'd go to her meets all the time, but do I really need to see Michael Phelps break demolish another world record? Maybe if I were a swimmer I'd be more psyched. Watching LaShawn Merritt and Jeremy Wariner going head to head in the 400, or Allyson Felix smoking fools in the 200 a bit more exciting. (seeing how I come from a track background.)

Anyway, track starts today at 10am with the prelims of the mens 100 meter dash, but I'm more excited for to the 400 which starts on Monday. Check your local network provider for channel details.
