Wow... Time passes by very fast! I have been in a training camp in Canet South of France last week. I’m here with 7 Australian Olympic swimmers with the lead of Shannon Rollason from Canberra AIS. My coach Mirjami is here as well. She looks after my training program and makes sure that everything is working out well for me!
Some back ground why I’m here with the Australians: I was in Canberra training with Shannon and his swimmers in the end of last year. I found it fun to train with his girls and Graig of course. Training programs he plans fits very well for me too. As I left Canberra last year he was asking if I wanted to join them in a training camp in Canet during May, so here I am!
Four days to go and then we are heading to Monaco for the Mare Nostrum tour. We arrive to Monaco on Thursday afternoon and racing begins on Saturday morning. Nine finnish national swimmers will join me for the two days racing. Additionally many of the fastest swimmers will race in Canet so its gonna be exited! My racing program includes 100 free, 100 fly and 50 free. Also received a call my brother Juuso and his girlfriend will fly to Monaco to cheer me on my events!
After Monte Carlo I will head to Koper, Slovenia for 9 more days for training camp. After that I go back home to Finland 20th of June celebrating the midsummer party. 04.05.2008
Here is just a few words about the Manchester WC... I have never been to such an amazing swimming event! The swimming arena and especially the way the athletes were presented were just amazing! Hopefully we will see more of this in swimming in the future.
Swim wise it was a very good 5 days of racing for me. In all of the events I swam (50free, 100free, 100IM) I did national records and in addition to that I did my first European Record in the 100IM! I was very pleased with all of the results - I'm looking forward to the Olympics this summer!

I am back in training after a week of relaxing time on holidays. The next challenge will come very soon in Britain, Manchester. Starting on the 9th of April there will be Short Course World Championships held in UK. I’m preparing my self for that and it will be very exciting to race so soon again! There is only 15 days gap between the European Champs and the World Champs, so it will be an interesting experience for me.

In the middle of last month there was Long Course European Championships held in the Netherlands, Eindhoven. Races I did over there was a big success for me. I did a personal bests in every event I swam and in addition to that I won my first LC European medal, a silver medal in 100free with the time of 54.00! I was very pleased with my results and will have a one week holiday to enjoy some time with my boyfriend now.
