Video captured by Anya Pelshaw.
Katie Ledecky threw down a 15:23 1500 Freestyle tonight in Austin at the Pro Swim Series. At age 28, that was not only the fastest Ledecky has ever been in January, but it was the 2nd fastest time ever swum in the event (behind, of course, Ledecky’s 15:20 world record). After the race, Ledecky said she had little expectation heading into the race, but didn’t expect that.
