Just days after the release of his tell-all story with Sports Illustrated, superstar Michael Phelps had a tough time with his first swim of the 200 free, before bouncing back in the 100 fly at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.
Phelps, swimming in the second-to-last A flight heat, wound up 10th overall with a 1:51.34. That’s well back of his former training partner Conor Dwyer’s top-seeded 1:48.95, and kept Phelps out of a loaded A final.
Louisville’s Joao De Lucca picked up the second seed with a time of 1:49.68, while SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte made the finale with a third-seeded 1:49.69.
Louisville’s Trevor Carroll (1:49.70), Wisconsin’s Michael Weiss (1:49.78), Louisville’s Matthias Lindenbauer (1:49.97), Club Wolverine’s Bobby Hurley (1:50.02) and SESI’s Giovanny Lima (1:50.81) cranked out the rest of the A final finishes so far in the A flight.
