Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Heat 1
1.  Italy - 7:07.84
2.  Russia - 7:07.86 (-0.02)
3.  Canada - 7:08.04 (-0.20)
4.  Japan - 7:09.12 (-1.28)

The second heat is running now.  And the US are leading, with the UK and South Africa close behind.  At least we beat Japan by a fairly large margin.  :D  I think there are only 2 heats for this event, which means they'll go straight to finals, which are at 11:19am tomorrow (12:19pm here).  MUST WATCH! 

I might as well wait til the second heat is over before posting this... America PWNED the competition.  At least 2-3 seconds faster than the rest.

Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Heat 2
1.  USA - 7:04.86 OR
2.  Great Britain - 7:07.89 (-3.23)
3.  Australia - 7:08.41 (-3.75)

The start list for the final isn't posted yet but we made it!  But we need to giv'er tomorrow.  I would be happy with a bronze.  We're probably going to be in lane 2 or 7 which is going to make things harder.  It was the 3rd swimmer who got tired.  We were leading for half of the race!  がんばれカナダ!

Now, back to writing.  And then when I get bored of that, I rented 3 discs of CSI: Miami. :D

Edit:  Broke 1,000 words and got the set-up for the chapter done.  Sent it to Starr for check and we'll see what she says. 

Relay final start list is up.  Just as I thought -- we're in lane 2.  SHIT.

And I don't even think that Phelps swam in the relay heat after the 200m free and 200m butterfly semi ...

Nope. The official site doesn't list relays as his events... unless they changed it last minute? AND HE'S THE SAME AGE AS US?! :O

He didn't swim in the heats for the 4x100 medley either - just the final.
