You’ve banked all your savings now make sure you spend every last penny!

Tomorrow is the start of a whole week of testing:
Monday: 4k run (where I am expected to take off 1 whole minute from the last test)
Tuesday: Weights test (more improvement)
Wednesday : Lab testing on a kayak erg with lats being taken every few minutes
Thursday: Timed pieces on the water
Friday: Judgement day (reviews)

I have decided not to let one negative thought into my brain so at the moment I am feeling confident I will improve on everything.

I am now feeling slightly sick I have written down what I have to do but nerves are healthy and make you go faster so it’s all good . . . remain calm . . . today is rest day so all I need to focus on is relaxation and the precise order of music I will play on my MP3 player tomorrow during the run. My best track to get into the zone (where I picture myself on a start line in a race) is Evanescence, Bring me to life.

There are now 6 of us left and all of us want this as much as each other but only after this week we will see who the panel of judges think have the potential to make it to London 2012.

Hopefully catch up with people at Bristol Regatta and Somerset the weekend coming x x

Did you know there's an old Latin proverb?

Maunderus Julias Gingerus Arsus Kickus

Which roughly translates as:
MAUNDER WINS!

Well done on 4k test - worked it out to be 7:09 min/mile. You know how I like my stats!! I am also certain you can it below 7 min/mile! Hope weights went well today - lots of grrrr and umph!! Lets face it, it doesn't have to be pretty!
Keep positive and keep focused and you will get through. Every faith in you - as have we all!! We know what you are capable of even if you don't!!
