Practice + Pancakes: Texas Men Taper Practice for WUGs

2019 is going to be an exciting summer for swimming fans. With so many major meets on the horizon, there will be no shortage of fast swimming around the world. The first of those major international meets is the World University Games in Naples, Italy, which starts on July 5. That means for Americans, taper is now. Luckily, the Texas men were kind enough to let us sit in on one of their taper workouts, where they were doing a little pace work.

GMM and P+P in one evening? We're spoiled. Free guys looking really sharp, think we're gonna see a bunch of 47s from them this summer, and maybe some 1:44s. Katz is definitely ready for a LC breakout with those pace times, same with Sheb in the IM. Not to mention those 100s from the D group, jeez. To give a stab at the Hot Take: there is no perfect 100, but if we consider 46 theoretically perfect, then 24 anything is required coming home, assuming you can go out fast enough [22 low-mid]. The opposite is true for a Magnussen or a Chalmers, like Eddie said. If you can't be out in 22 high at least, you gotta be back in 23 for a 46.

Townley Haas 25.9 200m free pace. Bru wtf? If he can do anything like that on the 3rd or 4th 50, He wins gold any year.

Don't talk with food in your mouth with the camera that close. Basic etiquette, it's not hard.
