Barcelona Here We Come

So Team GB and myself have been in Portugal now for over a week, but for some of us it comes to an end tomorrow when we head into Barcelona and the count down to the Europeans begin.

The weather has been great, the surroundings amazing, and the training has been going great too! I've had some great treatment by the physio guys out here which have helped to keep my body ticking over nicely. As you can see by the needles in my leg, I had 13 in total right down my leg!!! I feel like a human dartboard but it does help.
I've even managed to brave the Ice Baths a few times out here or should I say wheelie bins check it out....
Its not all fun and games being an athlete, there is alot of aches and pains along the way.

One of my highlights whilst being in the holding camp is the fact that each athlete had a photo shoot done this was great fun, I enjoyed this as I was able to mess around and play in the water having some fun pictures done and some serious ones also. I did have a complaint from the hotel as I was in one of the water features having mine taken and splashing around....know longer allowed to enter the water feature for future photos haha. Here is some of my photos


Aviva have looked after us here really well and I feel very fortunate to have been given this opportunity to be here. This week has been great the relay squad have trained together well and we are all looking forward to going into Barcelona and seeing who will be the four athletes running on the day.
