The next few weeks are going to be so exciting. I’m off to Doha next week for an eight-day preparation camp and then it’s the main event of the year – the Commonwealth Games.
There’ll be about 50 of us in Doha, and we’ll be doing a bit of fine-tuning ahead of jetting off to Delhi for the Commonwealth Games. The Games is the only international event outside the Olympics that have all the competitors staying in an athlete village, so its promises to be a great experience.
In terms of events, I’ll be racing the 200m Medley and the 400m Medley. And there’s a surprise event! I’ll also be doing the 800m Freestyle, which I haven’t done in a competition for quite a while, so it should be interesting to see how I do in that. I’m pretty confident going into the Games, but I never make predictions of how I’m going to do – so we’ll just wait and see.
After the racing, my Stockport Metro teammates and I are going to stay in Delhi for the remaining week, watch a few other events and see some of the amazing culture that India is famous for. It will be great to spend a bit of time with my teammates out of the pool – we all get on really well. We’d like to catch a bit of the men’s hockey as they have been doing so well recently – and you can’t go to India and not see the Taj Mahal!
So as I said, it’s a really exciting few weeks – I’ll be posting another blog from Delhi to let you know how I’m getting on, stay tuned!
