Phelps's first race since Beijing...in MARCH?!
Just got this from my Ggogle alerts...
Phelps eager to get back in the pool
By The Associated Press - 1 hour ago
Michael Phelps has returned to training, five months after his record performance at the Olympics.
He says he's eager to get back in the pool, but he's not planning to attempt a repeat of his eight gold medals in Beijing. He's almost certain that was his last eight-event meet.
For his first competition since the Olympics, Phelps is pointing toward a Grand Prix meet that begins March 4 in Austin, Texas.
On Thursday, Phelps was honored as U.S. Olympic Committee sportsman of the year.

That's insane. Out of the pool for five months and already planning for his first Grand Prix in March?
