Tabloid Superstar

A month of……….. APRs, swimming in 10degrees water, losing my phone, competing in one competition ,finishing 3rd at British University Champs, finding my phone, photo shoot with the Daily Record, another photo shoot with the Sun on Monday, one exam done, one more exam left, losing track of time and running out of it daily.

It's been a busy time lately with it being exam period at University and dealing with a detour down to Swindon to race at British Uni Champs. That coupled with a twice weekly dose of APRs has left me pretty tired tonight- the wind meant that tonight we battled along at 25kph in one direction and flew along at 50kph the other way. The main thing however is that training has been progressing well and it's almost time to reduce the training load to freshen up for British Elite Champs on the 17th. I'm confident I can produce a good performance but anything can happen on the day so in some cases its fingers crossed.

After British Champs I'll be in a better situation to asses my other goals for the season but racing for my pro French team will be an important goal for it's where the best in the world race so every race is a learning experience. Well im of to bed for I can squeeze in 8 and a half hours sleep. There's a lot of uni work needing done but that can be saved for another day.
