Mark Gale’s Son Sets US 50M Swim Record

Mark Gale’s Son Sets US 50M Swim Record

7/2/2008 12:58:31 PM by Mark Vitullo

Since Mark Gale, of the TAAN agency Charelston|Orwig, is much too nervous to even talk about this — let alone blog it to the world — I thought I’d let everyone know:

According to the USA Swimming Website, Mark’s son Garrett Weber-Gale just swam an American Record 47.78 for the fastest 50 meter freestyle in the first round of the Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, besting Mark Phelps by almost two tenths of a second.

The finals for the Men’s 50 Meter is Saturday evening and it will be televised on NBC.

You can also track the results on the Omega Timing Results Site.

Go Garrett.

Go Garrett is right! Mark and Diane must be extremely proud, and hopeful. He's almost there! I will be watching on Saturday.

The times just ran an article with Garrett's photo and quotes. Even mentions Mark. See: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/03/sports/olympics/03swim.html

Great news. Our flying dutchman 'Pieter van de Hoogeband' needs a likable successor as he is becoming of age. Holland cheers for Garrett at the Olympics!

Aww, love this. That sweater is fabulous (and so are you!). I have a sweater that's quite faded and several sizes too big, but it's gone through three generations of women in my family and although my mom keeps egging me to get rid of it I don't think I'll ever be able to.

Thanks Heather! I'm obsessed with big, chunky knits. Hopefully one of these days my knitting skills will improve so I can make one myself, but until then I have an incredibly talented grandma to thank. xo

Once I received a call offering me a decent sum to turn for a pianist for a chamber music concert. I was pleased to finally get paid for something I'd been doing pro bono for years. I got there early and met with the pianist. He seemed high-strung but some people are before a concert. I clarified repeat issues with him and he assured me he was a clear nodder.The concert began and I soon saw why he was so high-strung; his mediocre technique and limited musicality made him a bad choice to play the well-known Beethoven and Brahms trios he was tackling (almost literally, football player style). We got towards the end of the first page and he did not nod. I figured, Maybe he likes memorize the beginning of the next page and have late turns. Nope as we reached the last two beats he abruptly turned his heard toward me and, in a low, gruff voice barked, Turn! This disagreeable ritual was repeated for most of the performance. I thought it might have been less disruptive for him and the audience to nod as he said. No such luck. I made it through and didn't mess it up, but he really unnerved me and I dare say I was very deserving of my pay that evening.
