The.best.race.in.olympic.history.

Go HERE.

This is where my passion for swimming comes from.

I loved every 8/100 of a second of it.

Jason Lezak is a new American Hero.

It was 10:45pm and my family called, SCREAMING.

It was a good night.

I had to show it to the kids this morning. SO AWESOME!!! Too bad school starts next week and we have to make them go to bed earlier to get ready. Thank goodness for video on the internet!!!

Thanks for sharing that moment with us at 10:35 PM last night. Somehow I knew you'd be watching it!

Okay, I just watched it again. The 5th place team even broke the world record. Unbelievable!

It was awesome. We were screaming last night too!

Cal says thanks for putting it on your blog so he could see it. Some swim lesson inspiration alright!

Does it make me a GEEK that I have watched that about 15 times by now? I woke up my kids last night screaming! Phelps kills me with his mile long arms!

Did you notice the last stroke from de Frech'? If he hadn't switched his arm he probably wouldn't have lost. Watch it and tell me what you think because I was tired and tooooo excited to think otherwise!

I watched this at work with a mixed group of Yanks and Aussies, the wonderful thing was that we could all get behind the fact that someone needed to beat the Frogs, and when Lezak touched we all screamed! It was lunch time on Monday here...awesome moment!

That was so exciting to watch! Espescially since the French were talking them selves up soooooo much! So here's my French laugh.... Hee Hee Hee Haa Haa Haaaaa!!

I love in the interview following Phelps says, "The Frenchies were really talking trash to us, but we shut them up." Love it. I'm glad there's someone out there maybe more obsessed with the Olympics than I am.

Yeah, it was awesome. The French ended up stinking just like their cheese! Mwahaha!

Our family as well was up screaming. I think all four of us screaming woke Bryson up can't remember. But what is funny is that, I think I don't remember but the men's gymnastics was on and we wathced that as well, so i was up till almost 12. And I had to be up 7: 30 the next day for 4 hours of tryouts for volleyball. I was dragging that day lets just say that.

"Eat dirt French scum". . . a little harsh along the lines of world peace and everyone is a child of God. . but I have to agree with you. . . that race rocked!
