Studly Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps - the "Submarine Dude" - scored two hits at the U.S. Competitions Wednesday with little fanfare or much ado.
In fact, Phelps appeared to be a bit put-off by his performance in the overall swim of things, as he gingerly stepped from chilly waters he's not quite used to.
Yup!
Although the naughty party boy hit the wall in the 200 meter freestyle in 1 minute 44.23 seconds, the young Adonis didn't appear to be thrilled with that snail's-pace performance, one iota.
In fact, even though he beat out the competition in the 200-meter butterfly (1:52.76), Phelps was inclined to shake his head a tad - at which point he openly hinted to sports writers on the sidelines - that the golden boy was in a tizzy 'bout something.
Maybe, it's suddenly dawning on the kid, that he can't fight gravity forever.
After all, there's a bumper crop of leaner, stronger, more focused swimmers (Aaron Peirol?) breathing down his tanned toned back.
Is the hooch slowing the stud muffin down?
Me-thinks!
It's doubtful Phelps will ever go down in a humiliating fashion like Tiger Woods.
But, without focus, what good is pure speed?
The obvious display of dissatisfaction poolside may be a subtle sign that America's Olympic Hero, may be losing his grip.
