Struck with the Mañana-syndrome
Again, sorry for not posting more here, despite of being in the middle of it all. Back home they are busy with our National holiday, and here I’m doing all sort of irrelevant things instead of sitting down to blog. Like watching those awesome high-divers.

Moment of truth for Pál Joensen (FAR)
How has it affected Pál Joensen to move from home in the Faroe Isles, to his own place in big town Copenhagen, and switching coach first to Paulus Wildeboer and then Shannon Rollason? I guess we will see soon, personally I’m taking this as the best time to be experimenting, if ever before Rio 2016.

Two competitions, two Faroese records
Birita Debes yesterday broke her own Faroese record in the women’s 100 backstroke, when she managed a time of 1:05.64, the old record a 1:06.19 from the Danish Open meet in March. We might be ranking a bit low on the general roster, but pretty high when it comes to national records per event :-)

An OK start to our Barcelona 2013 participation
Phew, Poula Øssursdóttir Mohr set a new Faroese record this morning, clocking 1:04.58 and 41th of 53 in the women’s 100 meter butterfly here in the prelims of the FINA 2013 World Championships in Barcelona. Her record was 1:05.92 from the Mare Nostrum meet in Barcelona in June, so it was a nice big improvement of that, and a good start to our competitions here.

As you can imagine, we have been busy with settling in here in Barcelona, these past few days. Issues with internet connection etcetera, and maybe also a bit of pre-game nerves. But now with the meet ongoing, I promise to be better! :-)
