I think it's better to attempt something and fail than it is to not even attempt it, so I'm glad that I've been prepared to put myself on the line there.

There is water in every lane, so it is OK.

I think now I'll probably take a few days off and enjoy the competition and then sit down with a few people and work out what is next, work out what the next preparation will be and what competition will be next.

This is why relays are so important, because you can find more in yourself for someone else, than what you can ever find for yourself.

Compared to how I have raced before and how I have competed, the success that I have had, this does look like doom compared to it.

I'll go for broke. Swim faster. It's not going to be easy - this whole thing was never going to be easy.

I've enjoyed training again, I've enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I'll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself.
