OMAHA, NEBRASKA
Q. (No microphone.)
MICHAEL PHELPS: Those were two all right races. It was right off, I guess, what I went last year in the IM, and I was just happy to be able to come back and do a 1 low, that's fine. I'm pleased with the fly, and I'm okay with the IM. A win is a win. Feels good to be back on that side, but I'm sure that's not going to be the end of us going back and forth.
I'm happy to have a good race like that and kind of hold it all together. I think one of the things I wanted to do in the IM is nail the back‑to‑breast turn and keep the breaststroke together.
I watched some things in the video yesterday, and I kind of saw some weak points in my race that I thought I could fix and I think I did that tonight.
Q. (No microphone.)
MICHAEL PHELPS: I had to. I think it's‑‑ I kind of used Ryan having the 200 Back before having to set the pace early. I know the 200 Back long course is a very tough race and I know it takes a lot out of your legs, so I wanted to jump on it the first 100 and see what happened.
I think our backstroke we kind of let off a little bit, and we were probably playing that cat and mouse game again, and then of course the last 50 we went crazy.
