The team is all over the place at the moment. I am in San Diego with the family at the Medical Rehabilitation & Kinematics Lab as we get intensive therapy for our daughter Zara. Tom is back in Australia working and Georgie has been in Italy doing some lunatic swimming holiday that would scare the hell out of me but then again my swimming abilities are up there with my ballet skills.
Whilst in San Diego, I am running every day to get the mileage up and in the glorious sun shine with low humidity, I am finding it a breeze. I am averaging 15km per day and rarely feel my heart rate being challenged in any form. I am also taking the opportunity to load up on kit as the stores here are great for the outdoors and the prices are a lot cheaper than Singapore!
I signed up for a training weekend in Hong Kong for the Sahara race at the end of August. The weekend will be a 30km each day run with pack and overnight camp out. It will be a great opportunity to test kit, question the experts and see where I am fitness wise before I head into the final month before heading to the Sahara.
On the 3rd August I will be heading to Hotham with Tom and Georgie. We will be spending three days on the technical side of cross country skiing before we head off into the mountains for a mini expedition to test our skills in the snow. I am looking forward to it as it will be the first time we have trained together and the first time I have been on skies!
