MICHAEL Phelps got a rude awakening on the first day of the US Olympic trials.
The 14-time Olympic gold medalist was back in his hotel room on Monday sleeping after the morning preliminaries in which he finished second behind Ryan Lochte in the 400-meter individual medley.
"Well I have always had a prob with waking up from naps...But not possible to sleep through that fire alarm..." Phelps tweeted.
Asked about it after his final, Phelps said, "I was pretty upset and walking down eight flights of steps."
Lochte said he was jolted awake by the alarm.
"That scared me," he said. "I heard some little kid on the floor pulled it. I was like, 'Oh, I'm going to find that kid."
