At the end of last year I tore my hamstring which was possibly the most painful experience of my life. I had to take six weeks out of training and it took a full three months to return to complete fitness. I am still trying to shift those last few kilos of “injury weight” (which I put on whilst not being able to train aerobically effectively).

OLYMPIC HOPEFUL: Silver at Rolex Miami OCR
Posted on 4:32pm Sunday 31st January 2010
7-10 knots greeted us today and plenty of chop as more and more spectator boats joined our course which led to some fantastic racing against Anna Tunnicliffe's American team in our finals. In this regatta however we unfortunately only managed 18 straight wins and not the magic 19 we needed to win the gold!

Learning lessons in Miami
Posted on 9:18am Tuesday 2nd February 2010
Hard day 4 and 5. Day 4 for me was a bit disappointing as I did not perform to my best and let a medal slip from my grasp.

OLYMPIC HOPEFUL: Finals here we come
Posted on 10:07pm Friday 29th January 2010
And the winning continued today, still undefeated we had some great racing today finishing our quarter finals 3-0 against Meldgaard (DEN) and then beating World #1 Leroy (FRA) 3-0 in the semi finals! We're really pleased with how we're sailing, and with how we are still chipping away at improving our tactics, speed and boat handling. The forecast is for us to have a bit more wind tomorrow from our 10 knot average today and after a very close semi final that went to 5 matches, Tunnicliffe's team (USA) came out as our opponents for tomorrow.
