Recently I have been really struggling with getting time to spend on my blog because the truth is 6th form is pretty dam hard, and the IB (My exams I do at the end of upper sixth, where you study 7 subjects... 7? Yes 7 not 3 or 4 like A levels!) is pretty intense. I find myself struggling to squeeze in all my sports around my heavily overflowing homework diary! The perks of boarding though are fab because I am spending one less hour of my life travelling and that time is either spent getting some extra sleep or squeezing in that extra gym session or homework. The truth is, being an athlete, a blogger and a student all at once is pretty hard! Perhaps that is why I was ill last weekend and most of this week, but hopefully my body will soon get used to the new routine of boarding life and fitting my sport in too. However hard it is, I love it. The feeling I get during and after sport is just great and would never change it for a thing. At my school you can go home every weekend, which works well because if I have a triathlon I can come out of school for that and if I just need to get out of school and get some sleep (which ended up being my weekend last week, when I was trying to get better). The perks of coming home is definitely getting my bike back and being able to either go on a nice long bike ride or having a turbo session. As much as it is great having the big gym at school, where there are bikes which I use, there is always something nice about being on your own bike. I also have Saturday school so we often go to the club races and represent the school. Saturday school I don't really mind but when a small school fixture clashes with a more major club fixture, school often takes priority. Here is a quick snap of us last week at the Blackheath & Bromley relays, luckily I am feeling a lot better than I was in this photo and so I started sport again on Thursday and it was so good to be back running, swimming and cycling! I think I was going mad having 4 days doing nothing, I found myself with so much time on my hands. At the moment I am ready Mo Farah's autobiography but annoyingly I have been given a novel to read, which is due in in 2 weeks so at the moment all my reading is on this book , it is called station eleven. It is a pretty confusing book which I am just in a hurry to finish now so I can get back to reading Mo. I have had an okay week of training this week, not the best though because at the beginning of the week I was still recovering from being ill but I am definitely feeling better now, so next week should have a good solid week of training before another triathlon next Sunday.
