Michael Phelps is ready to put an up-and-down post-Olympic year behind him and focus on the challenges that await in 2010, including adjusting to a ban on the high-performance suits that rocked his sport.
The 14-time Olympic gold medalist will compete in one final meet, Duel in the Pool on Dec. 18-19 in Manchester, England, before closing out the year.
"The biggest thing right now is me getting back in shape," he told The Associated Press backstage at Sunday night's Golden Goggle awards, where he collected two trophies.
