2010 Worlds in Sweden

"Oregon Called: They want their weather back!" Made it safely to Sweden. Everything was on time and the flights were easy. Got lots of sleep. Hotel room is adequate...like an IKEA-themed college dorm...very Swedish. Have already met LOTS of swimmers from around the world: Australia, Italy, and Japan, not to mention all the Americans. It's pretty cool. Worst thing: the cost of beer at $8 a glass in the hotel. Thankfully I have a fridge in my room. I need to keep up my training, you know! Next worst thing: it has been POURING since my arrival and its raining hard right now...sure to dampen things! My shoes are soaked from two short walks last night. I would imagine the outdoor training pool will be empty today. Today is a light training day, so I am headed to swim at both competition pools. They are a 20-minute tram ride apart. Opening ceremonies tonight. Meet starts tomorrow. Follow everything on our Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/home.php
