Pool Shark

While still in the topic of Olympic ... Michael Phelps, 23 years old swimmer hailed from Baltimore, Maryland USA has recently become the most popular Olympian of all time -- has just achieved his Olympic history records by swapping 8 gold medals in Beijing Olympics, he beat the Olympic history hold by Mark Spitz for 34 years. For that amazing achievement, Michael Phelps has named the Pool Shark .. 2nd rank to Jaws, Spielberg's famous killer shark. And he has brought swimming to be one of the most popular sports in Olympic games.

I read on bloodbubble's blog today that Michael Phelps consumes an astonishing 12,000 calories a day (Jesus Christ!!)

Here's what the golden boy have for breakfast daily:

Three fried egg sandwiches;
cheese; tomatoes; lettuce; fried onions; mayonnaise;
three chocolate-chip pancakes; five-egg omelette;
three sugar-coated slices of French
toast; bowl of grits; two cups of coffee.

Wow! His 1 breakfast can easily feed several families in African countries. Well, his swimming training can easily burn those 12,000 calories in snap of fingers.

With his speed and that much of calories, even Jaws is intimidated by him.

Sigh, now he makes me thinking .. maybe I really should go back to regular swimming. No doubt, I've ballooned up pretty bad since I started sitting all day at work.
