Havnt posted a blog in ages, so looks like it might be a long one. Where do I start.............Uni has been going pretty well, have finally settled in and enjoying it now (hated it at first and wanted to quit, nothing new as did the same at college). Have met a few people now so there is a good little group of us! Managed to get all my coursework in with plenty of time to spare, so it was onto revision. Had 3 exams and I think they went ok, which is good. Not back to uni now untill 17th Jan, so plenty of time to get loads of training in! Although I am in on the 14th to do a first aid course which will be good, then might go and do the cycling coaching course.
Had a great Christmas. The family came over to our house this year. Oh and ma sister brought her hamster with her, he is soooo cute. Have been playing with him all weekend although he did take a big jump out of my hands today. You should have seen my sisters face!! Really pleased with all my prezzies especially for mum, dad and James. I wont name them as I will be here all day :-)
My baby terrapins also got a really nice prezzie from me. They now have the luxury of a very big new tank, and they absolutly love it. They swim about all day now instead of just sitting on their rock.
Training has been going well. Although the snow ment the majority of it was done on the turbo. Turned out ok tho and actually quite enjoyed it, sat in front of the tv and watched quite a few films lol Did adventure out in the snow on the cross bike on a few occasions which was loads of fun but mega hard work. Was at Footscray for the London League race last Monday. Really enjoyed it, was snowy, icy and muddy. Picked up 1st woman so happy with that. Then teamed up with James for the New Years Day madison cyclo cross race at Herne Hill. This was a really good event, James having a mega start and coming through the first lap leading, then we eventually dropped to 3rd over all and first mixed team so happy with that!! No rest for me, next day I travelled down to Ipswich for the Eastern Cyclo Cross League, a really good race. Raced with the Vets and Women. Started right at the back, worked my way up through the bunch and finished 4th over all and 1st women so chuffed with that. Definitely going to do more Eastern League races next season!!Nationals on Sunday, will post how it went.
