I flew out to Budapest on Monday 9th August for the European LC Championships. I was racing on the Wednesday in the 200 Breaststroke. I did not know what to expect from this competition as I was not rested at all coming in it and usually do not swim well unrested. The week did not …

British Champs 200 Brs
The 200 Breaststroke was on the last day of trials, and I swam a 2.11.52 and finished 2nd. It was my second fastest time ever, however I was a little disappointed as I had hoped to go faster after my performance in the 100. It was another close race but again I did not come …

British Champs 100 Brs Final
