Well it is that time again when i have to pack my bags and head to the glorious world of international athletics.
My first stop is a place where the rich and famous anchor their million dollar boats and cruise the streets in nothing less than a ferrari. This place i call Monte Carlo. I have been to this place twice before and have broken my australian record also twice.

I have decided to come into this season with a different mental attitude. Now it may seem like this attitude would be easy to come by, but you would be wrong, for an athlete this attitude will have been lost when they have a sniff of succes and realise they want more and more. This attitude that seems hard to come by is called “fun”. I raced on the weekend at a little local club and i decided to practice this new thought process, i ended running a new personal best in the 60m and racing really well in my other events. I havent felt that good since i last raced at a high level competition since the world championships. I spoke to my coach and we both believe that this thought process will be one of my main focuses when i leave for europe tomorrow.

I have also been doing some Promotional events such as going to the titans vs broncos game, i also went to country victoria in gippsland to launch the new Pro race in woodside.  I am the ambassador for this event that will be held on the 18th of december and i will be racing.

anyway I’d  better get back to packing and getting myself ready for tomorrow.

have fun and the next time i will be talking to you will be in monaco.
