ESPY's and Nationals
Date: Jul 28, 2007 - 03:16 PM
Hey guys. Sorry it's been awhile since i've updated my blog. The month of July was pretty busy starting with a meet in Santa Clara. I had a pretty good meet, breaking some meet records and getting some in-season best times. My mom also came out to the meet because I had a birthday on that Saturday (she gave me an iPhone which is awesome).
From there I went to the ESPY's. Filming for the show was on a Wednesday so I left Tuesday morning to get there in time for the pre-party. The pre-pary was great. I got to meet a bunch of the best athletes in the world and talked to Peyton Manning for a long time. He's probably one of the most real and down to earth guys that I've ever met. I was hanging out with a few former Michigan athletes, Braylon Edwards and Cato June afterwards and things got a little heated between us and the Ohio State guys. For those of you not familiar, Michigan and Ohio State are huge rivals and athletes from both schools were showing their school pride that night.
The award show was Wednesday. I had great seats in the second row and the show was great-- Jimmy Kimmel and Lebron were hilarious. I also got to present an award with Danica Patrick which was pretty cool. I got beat out by LaDanian Tomlinson for the two awards that I was nominated for, which isn't too surprising. He's a great athlete... but all in all, I had a great time in L.A.
We are now in the middle of taper and getting ready for Nationals in Indianapolis. I will be swimming a few "off" events which I really am excited about. After Nationals, it will be time to really get focused for Beijing.
