How much of your swim practices do you spend daydreaming in the water? A little? A ? The whole time from when you cannon-ball off the block at the beginning of practice to when you do *most* of the warm-down?

She won this event by almost an entire second, a gigantic win for the now-senior at Wisconsin.
