COUNT DOWN TO THE GAMES!

It's only 31 days now until the start of the Paralympics! With the opening Ceramony for the Olympics tomorrow ,the excitement is starting to set in.

It has been a tricky few weeks. We feel as though we have been dodging one curve ball after another, but the boat has gone and we feel we have left no stone unturned and can cope with anything thrown at us, even the kitchen sink!

We traveled up to Birmingham the other weekend to collect our kit and attend a Paralympic team dinner, it was a great day meeting all the other athletes going to China and trying on our team clothing. I think that's when it really sank in that the Games are just around the corner and that I am going to be representing my country on the big stage!

This week we have been training hard in Weymouth making sure we have crossed all the T's and dotted all the I's. I am off to Turkey on Saturday for a bit of down time with my partner Steve who is working out there, before flying out on the 20th August to Beijing.
