I realise I've not updated in awhile, everything has been hectic for me! The week after our success at Eights Head we did our 2k ergo tests. In my September and December 2k ergo tests I had just managed to dip under 7mins, with times of 6m59.6 and 6m59.4. However, in January I made my ergo goal of the season to get a time of 6m56.0. Ambitious, but I felt it was within me. However, after missing a large chunk of training in Feb/Mar I was not feeling quite so confident. I did in the end have a very good test, going off relatively conservatively and then being able to really bring it down at the end in a new personal best time of 6m55.9! I was very pleased with this, especially considering my disrupted preparation in the run up.
Since that ergo test we have been really getting ready for Final Trials, next weekend at Dorney Lake, the 2012 venue. The weather has been amazing for the past week, wall to wall sunshine. We have been on a home training camp at Caversham lake where they recently put blue dye in the water to kill/stunt the weeds, so the water looks gorgeous!
We've got three more days training at Caversham before we go to Dorney, a couple days before trials start. I am excited to be invited to race my single at Final Trials, against some of the top scullers in the world, let alone this country!
