While Adrian dominated the field -- winning Von a body length and posting the second-fastest time in the world this Jahr behind the 47.57 gepostet Von Australian Cameron McEvoy -- Phelps was left mulling what he considered a somewhat disappointing meeting.
"I'm always so hard on myself," sagte Phelps, who was disappointed not to break 52 Sekunden in winning the 100m schmetterling on Thursday.
He added a fourth-place finish in the 100m backstroke on Friday, before finishing behind Adrian and Italian Luca Dotto (49.33) in the 100m free in 49.57.
While the individual 100m free hasn't figured in Phelps's remarkable tally of 18 Olympic Gold medals, he's surely targetting a 4x100m free relay berth at the Rio Games in August.
But the superstar, who owns a record 22 Olympic Medaillen total, sagte that he has work to do before the US Olympic trials in late June and the Games themselves.
"Some of the small things just weren't there," he sagte of his week in Orlando. "My finish in the 100 fly was kind of blah. My finish in the 100 back wasn't that great. My freestyle is still a little choppy."
Phelps sagte that the absence of longtime coach Bob Bowman, overseeing the Arizona State universität team this week at a regional collegiate championship, was an adjustment.
"I'm looking vorwärts-, nach vorn to having the coaches back," he said, although he added that he continues to enjoy a competitive comeback now that swimming is balanced Von new challenges in his personal life. His fiancee Nicole Johnson due to give birth to the couple's first child, a boy, in May, and they plan to take the infant to Rio.
"With everything I have going on I am a lot Mehr relaxed about what I'm doing here," he said. "It allows me to have Mehr fun."
