It's not all been about training

In amongst the training I took four days off as my sister, Vix, shouted me to a weekend in Rotorua....... we were going white water rafting.  The weather kept us from keeping our booking and the outfit that we were booked with picked us up from outside of our hotel the next day.  The experience was awesome.
And after that it's been training on the water when the weather isn't disrupting water sessions.  Otherwise it's plan B and it's either a run or erg or both.
My next competition is Rotorua where Nationals are being held.
 I was one of eleven athlete's that were awarded with a Samoan Junior Sports Award for 2011. 
This year they had more applications then any other year.  I'm very grateful to the Samoan Sports Awards for finding that my sporting achievements were worthy of being rewarded by them.  A very big thank you to the Samoan Sports Association and congratulations to the other athlete's.
