Farewell to A Good Man (and one helluva Swimmer)

[falcon14]

985,072yds

less than 20k to go y'all!!!

More importantly...

The "Black Fish" announced his retirement today.
I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't sad.
I've been molding my freestyle after his since I knew how to race.
Nobody in the water has ever made it look so easy.

Raise your glasses (to) the Thorpedo.
You will be missed. All the best.

i think being able to retire at 24 (from pro swimming no less) = total badass.

he was my hero.

he'll always be the greatest to me.
