Killed all the momentum. I felt like I didnt really use much legs, dragging them through the way. But its something to build off of. Well see.Also advancing was Chase Kalisz, Phelps protege who already made the team by winning the 400 individual medley Sunday. Tyler Clary, who was second to Phelps at the 2012 trials, moved on with the sixth-fastest time.In each of his four previous appearances at Olympic trials, Phelps competed in the 400 IM on the meets first day. However, he has not competed in that grueling event since finishing fourth at the London Olympics in 2012.Phelps had originally been entered in Mondays 200-meter freestyle but was later scratched to focus on the 200 fly, where he has the top four performances in the races history.I just wanted to swim, Phelps said. That was the most annoying part: having to wait this long. But Im happy to get the first one out of the way and just keep going.Last year at the U.S. nationals in San Antonio, Phelps turned in the years fastest time in the 200 fly at 1:52.94. Hell look to edge closer to that mark in Tuesday nights semifinals.In other events, Katie Ledecky, who already qualified for Rio in the 400 freestyle, easily advanced to the semifinals?of the 200-meter freestyle with a time of 1:55.60.?Leah Smith was second in 1:56.47.Missy Franklin tied for seventh with Hali Flickinger in 1:58.61 and will face a busy night. She will swim the semifinals shortly before 8 p.m. ET and return about 15 minutes later for the 100 backstroke final in a bid to make her second straight Olympic team.?I think I do my best when Im given a big challenge, and tonight Im really going to have a big challenge ahead of me, said Franklin, who won four golds and a bronze four years ago at the London Games. My warm-ups have been feeling really great. I think Im trying a little bit too hard and thinking a little bit too much. Its just about trusting myself and just letting it happen.Defending Olympic champion Allison Schmitt qualified fourth-fastest for the 200 free semis in 1:57.77.In the 200 individual medley, Maya DiRado advanced to the semifinals with the fastest time of 2:11.66.
