I think the decision to aim for the Olympic qualifiers was never really made but was always with me since my early days in a boat. I can't explain it, it's just the way it is; to compete at my best at the highest level. So, around September 2008 I made a decision to do something about it; to concentrate all my efforts into slalom training for the next while with the only aim being "to be able to look back and say I did my best"



This blog is the story of my journey.



Summer 2010 roadtrip

I will be competing in three World Cup Races, Czech Republic, Spain and Germany. After five weeks is the Pre Worlds in Slovakia, with the Slovak open the following week.

Depending on my results at the World Cups I also hope to qualify for the World Championships in Slovenia.

Having never competed at this level before, it's going to be a steep learning curve, but thats what I'm here for.

FULL RUNS

Attempted four full runs in training today. The last was the best, if you don't count missing a breakout (and gate) completely. Two runs were broken somewhere in the middle when I caught up on someone, this is what I'm finding the hardest; training with over 30 others on the same course. One run included a roll, again not reading the water properly and aiming only for the gate.
