On Holiday
October 3rd, 2009 by Will
Very sorry for lack of blogging!
I am now on Holiday in Thailand with my Fiance and my friends. We are having an incredible time. The weather has actually been pretty shocking…but we did see the sun today:) For the first few days we were still on the beach though because we are Brits and however bad the weather is here, we still love it! The first week has actually just been a parties, recovery and then parties again. This is the time of the year for me to get all of the ‘fun stuff’ out of my system! Unfortunately I didn’t take my computer out so there will be no photos till I return.
The nights out are all beach based, with the bars opening out onto the sand. The bar tenders are just pyromaniacs, but its amazing to watch. Drinks are sold in buckets which I think it pretty lethal
Before coming out here, I raced La Baule French Grand Prix. It was a ticking the box race for me, after worlds I always lose my head but I was reasonably happy with my race. I finished 15th (I think) on no training and lots of travel, I felt like a different athlete out there! However I don’t really care about the result, its a race for the team and our team came 2nd, I was the 3rd scorer and Lagardere Paris Racing moved from a disastrous 4th to a salvaged 3rd. With the new World Champs Series ITU racing, we don’t get good teams out very often so we have had lots of really bad finishes. 3rd, considering is ok!
Thoughts on the season…I’m happy, it was a very consistent effort, I improved again, and I will improve again next year. The sport is developing and this year it was very, very fast. I learnt probably the most that I have ever learnt about racing and ‘what it takes’. I know what I am doing this year and I am very excited about executing that.
Thanks for checking in guys:) I have some cracking photos so check back in a few weeks.
