His mom said it best, this is most likely his farewell tour. This could be the last time Indiana ever sees Michael Phelps again. Get tickets!
From USA Today:
"I have some times that I want to hit in mind," he said. "This is a chance to see where I stand for worlds. That's the biggest thing, is trying to get as prepared as I can and hit all my marks before world championships. If I do that, then I can set up my Olympic trials."
"...My mom brought up the point that this could be the last time I swim in these pools, and the last time that she travels to these cities," he said. "It's hard to think about, but we've been able to have a great career in every pool."

Including 100 free? That would be interesting.
I think he wants a relay spot in London for the potential of a seven medal haul.
If he can take 7-golds; (I do not think so), he will be the hands down greatest Olympian ever was or will ever be.
200 fr
100/200 fly
200 im
all 3 relays
For what it's worth, I think this is a pretty good guess for his program.
Sort of off topic- The U.S. needs 2 other men in the sprint free that can holder up against the rest of the world. Adrian, Lezak, Jones? Lochte?
I'd like to see Lochte take on the 200 fly. I actually think he could rattle Phelps in this god-awful event. Good thing I don't have to swim it :)
Wow, you did not criticize Phelps once during Indy GP. Are you getting softer or what?
My criticism regarding Phelps went along these line: Fish or cut bait! No more excuses please.
Obviously you did see that.
