badstreamliner (7:47:15 PM): yo
"Chad LaTourette" (7:47:27 PM): hey dude whats up
badstreamliner (7:47:37 PM): nm.. u ready to do this?
"Chad LaTourette" (7:47:51 PM): yup
badstreamliner (7:48:27 PM): aight well first off i see that youve got the stanford buddy icon.. u ready for next fall?
"Chad LaTourette" (7:48:47 PM): haha i've been ready for somewhere around 2 years now
badstreamliner (7:49:12 PM): ya lol.. what exactly made u wait an extra year?
badstreamliner (7:49:16 PM): must have been a tough decision
"Chad LaTourette" (7:50:01 PM): yeah at first i really intended on going to school the year right after high school
"Chad LaTourette" (7:51:02 PM): after i had finalized that decision, it wouldn't leave my thoughts and i kept debating whether or not it was worth it
badstreamliner (7:52:40 PM): i see.. are u ready to study your ass off for the next 4 years tho
"Chad LaTourette" (7:54:00 PM): haha it's going to be tough at first no doubt, after cruising for a whole year like i've done, but i'm definitely ready for college
badstreamliner (7:54:37 PM): did u have a job this past year or anything.. or was it just all about swimming
"Chad LaTourette" (7:55:51 PM): at first i intended on getting some kind of job or taking a class or two to keep myself occupied, but my schedule ended up being way too booked to hold anything serious down
"Chad LaTourette" (7:56:12 PM): so no haha
badstreamliner (7:56:59 PM): haha.. aight so were like almost a week out of trials
badstreamliner (7:57:03 PM): u gettin pumped?!
"Chad LaTourette" (7:58:53 PM): definitely! taper has arrived and not a moment too soon. i think everyone in my training group is starting to realize that the worst of it is behind us, and that all eyes now are on omaha and beijing.
badstreamliner (7:59:24 PM): how much yardage do u get down to towards the end of trials?
badstreamliner (7:59:34 PM): or.. meterage
"Chad LaTourette" (7:59:53 PM): yeah meterage never caught on like yardage
badstreamliner (7:59:58 PM): lol
"Chad LaTourette" (8:00:59 PM): we kind of do a step-taper type situation, but i'd say the lowest we go is around 3k, and sometimes even less if we're doing only a meet warmup.
badstreamliner (8:01:28 PM): gotcha.. so u have the 400 on the very first day, and the 15 on the very last day
badstreamliner (8:01:58 PM): kindof a weird situation.. how are u gonna stay focused and prepared for a week in the middle
"Chad LaTourette" (8:04:06 PM): yeah exactly, quite a big gap in between. obviously i'll be fully tapered for both events, but i'd say i do more meters in my taper than a middle-distance type, just so i have that stamina at the end of the meet.
badstreamliner (8:05:56 PM): any predictions as to what time you will have to go to be 2nd in the 15
"Chad LaTourette" (8:06:47 PM): that's a tough call. i'd guess around or under 14:50
badstreamliner (8:08:01 PM): going into a mile, how much of your race is planned out beforehand, and how much depends on the people around you
badstreamliner (8:08:42 PM): in terms of like how fast you go out and how u swim the race
"Chad LaTourette" (8:10:18 PM): for me i usually plan the whole race before it starts. of course i will probably deviate during the race to some extent, but usually i have a pretty good idea going into it.
badstreamliner (8:11:36 PM): what suit are you gonna be wearing
"Chad LaTourette" (8:11:58 PM): tyr tracer rise
badstreamliner (8:12:37 PM): cool

badstreamliner (8:14:14 PM): what do u do in prac that makes her laugh
badstreamliner (8:14:14 PM): lol
"Chad LaTourette" (8:16:10 PM): haha workouts are pretty much a stand-up stand-off; fran crippen, coach rose, and i crack jokes til the cows come home. they're usually NC-17
"Chad LaTourette" (8:16:28 PM): so i wont go too into depth
badstreamliner (8:16:40 PM): hahaha
badstreamliner (8:16:44 PM): how about a sample of one?
badstreamliner (8:16:57 PM): maybe one thats just rated R tho
"Chad LaTourette" (8:17:00 PM): haha
"Chad LaTourette" (8:17:18 PM): let's see
"Chad LaTourette" (8:17:52 PM): haha i'm going through all these jokes in my head and i'm already offended

badstreamliner (8:18:25 PM): hahahaha
badstreamliner (8:18:42 PM): psh.. this is the stuff that makes our website
badstreamliner (8:19:09 PM): but either way.. sounds like you guys are terrible role models for 16 yeard chloe sutton hahaha
"Chad LaTourette" (8:19:09 PM): alright i'm going to give you some of my material
"Chad LaTourette" (8:19:15 PM): so terrible
badstreamliner (8:19:22 PM): lol
"Chad LaTourette" (8:19:59 PM): why is leave it to beaver the most risque and dirty show on television
badstreamliner (8:20:38 PM): hahaha why?
"Chad LaTourette" (8:21:24 PM): at some point in every episode, the mom tells the dad "Ward, I think you were a bit too hard on the Beaver last night."
badstreamliner (8:21:45 PM): hahahaha
badstreamliner (8:21:45 PM): wow
"Chad LaTourette" (8:22:03 PM): you don't even know
badstreamliner (8:22:34 PM): hahaha sounds like practices are hella fun tho... god no wonder u stayed another year
"Chad LaTourette" (8:23:04 PM): yeah it's a hoot everyday, twice a day.
badstreamliner (8:23:51 PM): ur gonna have to take that to stanford with u
badstreamliner (8:24:11 PM): although idk if skip is gonna be down
"Chad LaTourette" (8:24:31 PM): haha i'll ease into it
badstreamliner (8:25:57 PM): k well while were on a roll, how about a funny swimming related, or swim team related story
"Chad LaTourette" (8:26:14 PM): hmm
"Chad LaTourette" (8:31:22 PM): one nadador ritual is faking people out so they leave early on a repeat. usually you can get someone who's not paying attention to leave early if you get a few kids to make the push off "fake" with you. after they push off, surface, and realize what an idiot they are, the whole team taunts them with colorful profanity and yelling.
badstreamliner (8:32:35 PM): hahaha ya i always fall for that shit
badstreamliner (8:33:44 PM): ok so u had a really good meet at the world university games last year
badstreamliner (8:33:49 PM): tell us about that experience
"Chad LaTourette" (8:35:56 PM): first off, i think that was the most fun i've ever had on any travel trip. I had been training well and it translated well into my races in thailand. it was my first official national team and i was extremely excited to represent my country.
badstreamliner (8:37:42 PM): did u have to do a rookie skit?
"Chad LaTourette" (8:38:17 PM): yeah. it was awful
badstreamliner (8:38:24 PM): haha what did u do
"Chad LaTourette" (8:39:14 PM): it was pretty much your run of the mill "make fun of everyone" but was totally outdone by a few other groups.
badstreamliner (8:40:06 PM): haha
badstreamliner (8:40:21 PM): k its that time of the interview.. where we have to ask
