Well I have finally started training again. It’s a great relief as I start to get myself in to shape for the forthcoming season and actually feel like I am doing something constructive. My hip is still far from perfect as I train cautiously around it (slightly paranoid not to put back my rehab).

I still have a long way to go, further than I would like but it’s strangely nice to feel the burn of the gym again. But it’s going to take more hard work to get the movement back to where I was before. Thankfully I have done it now at the start of my campaign which gives me plenty of time to build things up again.

Although being injured I have not sat idle, making the most of my time out of the gym and off the slopes, searching for the funding for a four year program that will take me to Sochi and hopefully the podium.

I have been working on sorting out my seating issue finding a seating specialist eager to help. With the Combined Services Disabled Ski Team we have been looking at the suspension units of the sit skis making sure that we have them set up right.

I can now turn my focus on my next challenge; a 70 mile bike ride in September raising money for the Disability Snowsport UK and the team and helping my get fit for the season.

I don’t know if I’m quite ready yet but I am looking forward to the challenge from Ben Nevis to the Cairngorms and it will give me certainly give me something to aim for over the next month I just hope it doesn’t take me a month to recover.
