This is a journal of my journey to the 2012 London Olympics. The highs, the lows, the good times, the bad times, the fast times and the not so fast (slow) times. The new challenges that lay ahead and the people around me during those times are the enjoyable things I look forward to.

Now its Time

Just had National Titles last week and now its time to get stuck into training for the Games. Beijing is only 5 months and 6 days away, and from past experiences, that time will fly. We have to make the most of every day that we have to get us where we want to be mentally, physically and technically. Looking forward to it!!!

The National Titles weren't too bad, Drew and I had a win in the pair (our Beijing event) and also the coxless four. The pair was solid race and the four was also quite solid and very enjoyable for me. Drew and I joined David Crawshay (one of my crew members from 2004 Athens Olympics) and Karsten Forsteling. I don't often row fours and to win that race with the quality field was simply......fun! I also jumped in a quad scull with Scott Brennan (another Athens crew mate), Brendan Long and Dan Noonan. This was a quality crew that made me reminisce my sculling days that ceased 4 years ago in Athens. Yep, I saw the light and changed to sweep rowing, specifically rowing the pair with Drew. Good decision!

All in all, I had a pretty good nationals with winning 3 from 3 National Titles.

Now its a long road ahead (but will be travelling fast) with much to do in the coming months. Many interstate trips, training camps and overseas tours in the coming months and thank you to all those that support me in all my endeavours.
