It was exciting competing in the British Championships this year, as there is a lot of up and coming talent from the youth category. More competition is always a good thing as it makes it more of a challenge. This summer I didn’t manage to rise to the challenge quite as well as I had hoped, coming 9th. However, I am happy because other people climbed really well and beat me. I didn’t make the final for the first time since I’ve been competing in the BBC’s. I thought I’d be upset, but instead I felt inspired to get back into shape for the last World Cup of the season and sort out a few muscle issues I’ve been having. I’ve got my work cut out.
It’s quite hard training in the heat. My finger skin seems to like falling off and I’ve discovered that I have a tendency to feel a bit queasy during warm up when it’s hot. I’m getting used to it, which will help lots as it’s bound to be hot in Munich in a few weeks.
