After ending the season 12/13 in style in Australia, it didnt turn out ranking wise the way I would hoped, but in the end that does not matter too much, as my personal plan is on route.5 days after returning from Australia and just as I barely got time to adjust to the European time again, I took off to USA with a good friend from Norway, driving the east coast from New York to Miami.
Living big city life in New York, running stairs like Rocky in Philly, witnessing big fat gypsy weddings in south carolina, visiting Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida, and ending up partying like a pro in Miami. A great 2 weeks spent with very little training. I did, however enjoy the casual hit with local coach John at Princeton in New York, and some chin ups at muscle beach, Ocean drive, Miami beach ;)
Now it is back to training. Summer training that is. This means normally a world of pain in my case. This year, for 2 months I will tag along my friend Rob Grants marathon running training programme. In the beginning, I will follow his schedule as much as possible. Slowly I must adjust it towards the physical requirements of squash. This means after a month or so, I will do more 300 and 400 meter sprints, interval training and more court stuff.
The next tournaments coming up are the european individual championships in Herentals Belgium, a local closed sattelite tournament, and the european club champs in Riccione, Italy in September.In October is the World Open in Manchester.
