Day 17 notes (20/1/22)

Had a cracking day today until the evening session. First the swim this morning was really challenging but I’m happy with how I handled it, then after gym and multiple rehab exercises we went out for a squad breakfast.

There was about 12 of us there and we ended up taking over half of the coffee shop we were in, it was so lovely. Though I am very sad about Soph leaving as our gym coach. If it was my choice, I would have her as gym coach through this next 3 year cycle. But things don’t always go to plan and it’ll be exciting for her what happens next!

I’m really enjoying the squad atmosphere and with every passing day I feel closer and closer to the squad, everyone is weird and wonderful in their own way and I rest enjoy that.

After the evening session which, let’s face it, was bound to catch up with me (distance after 3 back-to-back hard sessions), we were trying to sort out McCullagh meet to which I then realised I was double booked as Marseille was moved too late, it’s caused a headache for me and Abs to sort out and I hate how I now have to choose as both are awesome opportunities that I’m excited for
