Another New Year

The start of another new year has begun but we’re only half way through the season. The World Series Finals are currently on but my last event was in India last month and my next event is in Vancouver on the 12^th of Jan. Never been to Vancouver but I must admit I love Canada. Pretty laid back place and I know a few Aussies who have made the trek over there for the snow season and haven’t come back (not dead, just loved the place!).

I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last 3 weeks back home in Yamba, Australia and the weather has been awesome. I say it every year but spending time at home is so refreshing. A total recharge of the batteries is exactly what the body needs and it’s when I’m back home, close to the family that I get jealous of the Europeans and Poms that can live and train in their native land.

Most of Christmas day is spent at the beach and there’s never a dull moment. Our ‘funky trunks’ (see twitter @campilley) were a standout on the beach and although we did it for a laugh, my brother Morgan has now started using them regularly! It’s been great to catch up with family and friends that I haven’t seen in a year but obviously training is still a priority. Luckily for me Yamba is full of hills so I’ve done my fair share of hill sprint training whilst here.

Vancouver is next stop for me, followed by New York, Detroit and then back to Holland for a bit. Might sneak some shopping in whist in NYC and max out that 23kg of baggage allowance!

Adios
