I've bitten the bullet and made my reservations for this year's FINA World Masters Championship.  The stars and moons aligned on this one:

• Long-course 50 years old

• Lived in Sweden in 70s and 80s

• Plane fare under $1,000

I've entered five events:  100 and 200 Freestyle, 50 and 100 Butterfly, and the 200IM.  Based upon my times from last year, I have a chance to place in the Top 10 in my age group...in the WORLD!

As I did when training for the English Channel Relay, I'll be keeping a blog with pictures, thoughts, and highlights...and lowlights.
