MICHAEL Phelps left Charlotte UltraSwim with three medals in four individual events, one narrow loss, and a new sense of motivation.
Phelps wrapped up the weekend by winning the 200-meter individual medley, an event he hadn't competed in since last summer, by holding off Eric Shanteau at Mecklenburg Aquatic Center.
"I wanted to separate myself from Eric in that first 100 meters," said Phelps, who finished second on Saturday in the 100-meter backstroke to Nicholas Thoman. "We were going to see where we were in terms of fitness right there, and we found out in the first 25 meters.
"This weekend gives me motivation, more than anything," said Phelps, who called his weekend "not great, not terrible."
"I'll be the first to admit my training isn't where it should be."
Multiple world-record holder Ryan Lochte beat Italian Sebastiano Ranfagni and American Matt Grevers to capture the 200 backstroke.
"I haven't raced this much in a long time," Lochte said. "It's just about getting up on the blocks, no matter what kind of environment or competition, and giving your best. That's what it call comes down to."
