China

Ni hao! Yes, i am over in China right now. Amazing to think its been over a year now since the beijing Olympics, something that i'll never forget thats for sure. We started our trip in beijing, we drove by the water cube and birds nest, but we didnt go in this time. We are in the city of hangzhou now and headed for shenzhen later tonight. Its been great to see some of the other cities here and the people have been great. We have had a couple of swim clinics which have included some head to head races...and i must admit that i have fallen short twice now. Yup, thats right, i am O-2 in China in 2009 so far. But thats ok, its been a great mix of swimmers - age group to masters - and its really exciting to me to see their enthusiasm for swimming.
