Yeah, that last turn was not what it has been for him all week. It is remarkable what he has just done, but you could tell he wasn't completely happy with something. Hopefully he'll get loose before the next race.

That explains the goggle toss to the deck too.
And certainly he didn't look tired in the relay!
