Good Week!
I have had a really good week. Firstly it has been great receiving so much support and good wishes from my friends in the paddling community back home. It is very satisfying knowing that your hard work and effort does not go unnoticed! Secondly I have had a great training partner for most of my sessions. Akos Vereskei, Double Olympic champ and multiple world champ in K1 and K4, has joined our group. I am really pleased about this because we have been pushing each other really hard and I feel that we can only improve our level training the way we are. Lastly, Jacques Theron has come to visit Jen. Its good to have a new face in our group and he has helped a lot by going out on the speed boat with Nandor and filming our training so that we can analyse our techniques.
Tomorrow we have a table booked at Champs Bar to watch the Springboks in action. I am really looking forward to a relaxed afternoon, watching rugby… South African style!!! Next wednesday I am leaving for France to compete in the final World Cup of the season.
