Following Nottingham Autumn Head my slight cold has now turned into sinusitis. This is not the news I wanted the week leading up to trials. I have been on antibiotics since Monday and although I am starting to feel better it’s a little too late. I did everything possible to try and get better ready for the weekend but after doing a 500m piece on Friday it was decide that I would hand in my medical exception. Congestion does not aid breathing…
I was so up for the trials as everything has been aimed at getting a good result here. I am gutted that I didn’t get to go and race but very happy for those in the squad that have achieved personal bests on the 2000m ergo test today. I wish them all the best for the 5000m water trial tomorrow.
For now I just have to get well and back to full training but bring on December trials!!! Next on the agenda is Fullers Fours Head on 5th November so time for some crew bonding.
