U.S. OLYMPIC SWIM TRIALS

Q. (No microphone.)
TYLER CLARY: Yeah. It's actually something I did during 2012 Trials as well, didn't do that great, went out and rode some Go-Karts, came back refreshed. Got my whole family out, went out and did some Go-Kart racing yesterday and kicked all their butts! But it was a lot of fun.
