This week - The biggest swim of my life so far!

This past week I have had a relaxing taper down week, to rest my body for what will undoubtebly be the biggest swim I have ever competed in. It is the FINA Open Water Grand Prix Sabac Swim Marathon 2008, which will be hosted in the town of Sabac in Serbia.

The full 19KM course is as follows:-

I will be swimming against none other than the English Channel World Record Holder Petar Stoychev. He is the number 1 seed, and I am listed as No. 21 of 26, and I am also the second oldest in the competition. I will report back after the swim, but I will be doing some light training this week in the pool and in the river Sava in Serbia.
