Epic Camp New Zealand Days 1 to 6

Last time on Camp in Italy I was pretty slack on the blogging side of things, finding it hard to fit it in. Whilst it may appear Tara and Jo are the only ones to have put the work in I have been posting to my own blog. I've made two posts one on Days 1 to 3 and one on Days 4 to 6. Go have a look if you want the details of my experience on this camp.

Compared to Italy this has been a different kind of sufferfest. My memories of my first Epic Camp are of being sick and just trying to hang on to the group and get through those minimums. This time round if I've suffered it's been at my own hands! With just one day to go I've stuck to my new goal of all the minimums and some tack on. Some of it a little bit crazy, some of it easy extra points. I'm higher up the rankings than I expected to be that's for sure.

Crashing after touching Bevan's wheel today may have put a spanner in my performance for tomorrow's games as I think I've bruised my ribs. Ouch, I'm glad I saved that one for the end of camp. That said the points are tight and my final position may come down to my performance on the final day.

Next time I post it'll all be over. After 56 hours of training in a week I'm actually a little glad!
