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.
I will be swimming against none other than the English Channel World Record Holder Petar Stoychev.
