She's still not rested and tapered, and yet Katie Ledecky broke another of her world records at a tune-up meet. This time it was the 800 meter freestyle, and she bested her own previous personal best by almost two seconds.
Katie Ledecky breaks 2nd world record at swim meet in Texas
"Ledecky, a rising senior at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, touched in a time of 8 minutes 11.00 seconds to shave nearly two seconds off the previous record of 8:13.86, set last year at the FINA World Championships in Barcelona. This, just days after shattering the 1,500 freestyle world mark by 2.3 seconds."
So how much faster is she capable of swimming when she's rested for a big meet? Another two or three seconds in the 800 and 1,500?
She could set records that won't be broken for a very long time, except that she might break them again soon.
