Things come in 3’s…

The dreaded 2km ergo test needed completing before 23rd December for me to be eligible for this season to continue with the GB Rowing trials.

To say bad luck has hovered over me for over a month now, surely 2013 will bring some luck my way. If you are wondering what I am on about then you must not be aware that I have been unable to complete my 2km ergo test due to straining my abdominal muscles. The only way I can think this has happened is due to the terrible cough I had for some weeks with my previous illness.

But this last month doesn’t just stop there with a bad cold and a muscle strain. Just as I was starting to get back slowly into training I came down with the stomach bug that is spreading across the country. This lasted a few days and once recovered I did one days training (finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel) to wake up the next morning with a muscle pain in my abdominals. I was fed up to say the least! As this got gradually worse over the next two days, I went to see a physio who helpfully gave me some advice on my injury and wrote me a medical note so that I can continue with the GB process this year.

So that sums the process up so far for me…fingers crossed for a healthy 2013 and successful rowing season. I can’t wait!

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.
