From my window I can see some snowdrops in the distance. Today was filled with doing household chores, painting and swimming. We've booked the hotel and ferry for the championships, therefore no excuse anymore to skip training.
Beside that, I have read that when you are not good enough and don't swim at least the standard time at the competition, you won't be on the competiton result. As I am probably the slowest I have to keep practicing. Better be the last on the list than not at all.
