SO it begins...

It's been an insanely busy few months for me so blogging has unfortunately taken a back seat! At the end of May we moved to Cardiff and I now work as a freelance instructor and raft guide which has so far been amazing but full on.

So now the plans for the Adidas Sickline 2014 have begun! The accommodation is booked 500m from the course and the ferry will be booked shortly. It's come around really quickly, now less than 3 months! Training must now get more intense. I joined the gym as soon as we moved here and have been keeping fit, work is very physical so I have been staying in shape but I definitely need to turn it up a notch.

Working at the Whitewater center is great as in my downtime I can grab a boat and lap the course which is great training and a step up from the flat water training I had to do last year. It's been a crazy dry summer which has been really nice but at the same time there is nothing in the rivers so class 4/5 training is not an option at the moment.

So more running, gym sessions, cycling and plenty of time in a boat is on the menu for the next 10 weeks! I am feeling more confident this year as my skills have improved since last year, I have a faster boat and I had a great performance at the Moriston Race in May. Can't wait to get out there!
