Cool Runnings

So this weekend I was back at Bath University for some practise on the Bobsliegh. I joined the athletes on there tests as part of the Talent I.D programme.

I joined some of the guys on the 30mtr sprint test, although I had already done this I thought I would use it as some training and see where abouts I am in training after not being able to do as much in the last four weeks due to illness. I did ok didn't run as fast as I did when I went through my trials but still a 3.96 aint bad going for someone who hasn't been training!! So I was happy with that and in a few weeks time after being back in full training and full fitness I will be smashing it.

Following this the guys and myself went up to the push track for some timed runs and seeing how quick we could push the make shift Bob. I really enjoyed this part of the session. For me I couldn't do the proper push technique as I still have a damaged wrist which is still under investigation so I had to do the Talent I.D push however I still found this painful. This was the first time for me pushing for time and with the help of Paula Walker and the coaching team I managed to clock 4.066 which is good going for me first time. But the target has now been set for me and I need to push 3.999 or under so I shall be returning back to Bath soon for some more coaching followed by some timed runs and I will nail it!! Hopefully by then my wrist will be better too.

I'm enjoying this new chapter of my life and can't wait to go forward with this. I am now finally getting back into full training and looking forward to the summer track season and then starting my first ever Winter season with GB Bobsiegh!! SWEET ;o)
