Nearly 2 Months To Go!

I am now at the point of about two months to go until the London Olympics begin.  27th July is the ate of opening ceremony.  28th July is the date of my first race.
The build has been going perfectly so far.  Have been swimming many many kilometres and lifting a lot of heavy weights.  Feeling very fit and have been training very well.
The Aquablack Olympic team will be leaving on the 7th June for a training camp in Cairns, Australia.  We will be there for two weeks, training 3 times a day with only one day off in the two weeks, then will fly to Canberra to compete in a grand prix style swim meet with most of the Australian Olympic Team attending also which will make for some good racing! We then come back to NZ for 2 weeks.  Then will be saying final goodbyes on the 10th July and heading to Belgium for our pre-camp.  We will leave Belgium on the 23rd July and head into London via train into the Olympic Village.
Apart from feeling tired and sore from the heavy training schedule, I am also feeling very very excited for what is to come in the next few months.    Hoping to do New Zealand proud!
