Now and France

So since we have been back we both have been so keen to train and get fit and strong. I have been doing lots of Resistance work as I have not done any fitness training in a very long time due to speed training. So that has been nice and I feel like I am getting fit quick.

I two weeks I am going to France with the Australian Youth Climbing team for the World Youth Championships. We have 16 young climbers on the team. The comp is in Valence, south of France. After the comp hoping to do lots of rock climbing!

The Rest World Games

The World Games was so cool. I came 11th i the speed and 9th in the lead. Watching the other climber was so amazing. After the climbing we went and watched some other sports like parachutists were the Aussie took out bronze. Then it was off to see the Aussie Ultimate Frisbee team were they took out bronze too. And, we watched some amazing Acrobatic Gymnasts.

Overall it was a wonderful trip and one were we enjoyed and learned.
