Ok so I was reminded I needed to blog (I need reminding). The last tournament I played was the NZ Open, which I have to say was the best run tournament Ive ever been to. The organisers thought of everything a squash player would need. Also the apartment on the beach was a ne touch. Anyway, I had to play Madeline Perry first round. I lost a tight 3/1. Losing the first games from a few unforced tins In the second comfortably. At 9 all in the 3rd game, Madeline hit a jag to go game ball up. I felt like nothing was going my way in the match and lost the last game 11/8. I felt I played well and was right in it but couldnt get those big points.

So now Im back in NY and it is time for the return of death training. After playing 6 weeks of competition, I knew I was out of shape and this week has proved it. The first is always the worst so I am thinking positive in knowing it can only better from here. Rod's death running session, including shuttles and hill sprints was tough and I am not looking forward to it on Tuesday. As the Worlds are 4 weeks away, I have upped training to 3 sessions a day so should be fit for Amsterdam.

Anyway, I am back in the swing of things and will blog again soon

Take care

World Games: Taiwan

I am in the quarter finals of the world games where yesterday I defeated Camille Serme in 4 and last night beat Shelley Kitchen 3/2. After having a horrendous start and being two love down, I managed to scrape the 3rd 16/14 and then was able to get on top of Shelley and move her around the court, winning the last game 11/2. I now play former Australian and world number 3, Natalie Grinham this afternoon. I will write soon to let you know of the result

Unfortunately I have had another setback to the Australian Open, losing in the semi final to Joelle King in 5. I was two love down and got it back to two all but lost the final game. Although I was devastated because the Australian Open means so much to me, in a way, it was a good thing, because it has shown me that I need to reassess my training program and am going to work more closely with Michelle and Rod Martin in establishing a program. I have a lot of work to do and am hoping this will be the key to helping me make the break I so desperately want

I have arrived into Clare in preparation of the Australian Open, which starts on Thursday. Ive had a good preparation, spending 3 weeks in Brisbane training with the AIS before going to Melbourne for the Australian Doubles where I came second with Amelia Pittock in the womens event and 3rd in the mixed doubles with Ryan Cuskelly. We arrived into a cold Clare Valley on Saturday and have been hitting on the glass court. I feel like I am getting more used to playing on the glass court so I am looking forward to competition. I will write again with the tournament results
