At noon, I was at work and could therefore not register for the EMC, but Bert was quite happy to do it for me. So, I'm in!
The organisation decided to re-open the registration possibility because there were so many swimmers from all over Europe who wouldn't be able to participate. In my opinion they have to reconsider the standard times, next time, in order to make it harder to join the championship. In the Netherlands, I am one of the slowest swimmers in my category and I still can participate. But I'm not complaining though. I'm glad I'm joining.
