one month out till ice time (hopefully)

Well Hello!!!! It has been a while since I blogged, and a lot has happened in that time. My shoulders are healing very well, and I rarely find them limiting me in my day to day activities now. My athletic training and shoulder rehab is going well, but has been held back a bit with some 'shin spints' flaring up. My flying has been bloody awesome, today I flew to Queenstown, I have about 45 hours logged and should get my private licence in the next few weeks. I hope to head over to Lake Placid in the next month to start training for the world cup race season, but as usual, finding sponsors has been tough going, so as yet i havent paid for my ticket, infact i didnt pay for them in time and they were cancelled, so i need to re book, probably be more expensive now... I am working hard trying to secure a sponsor fast.

Kelly is taking a season off, we'll all miss her, we have been travelling together for four years, so it'll be sad not having Kel around during our international adventures. Peter is gearing up for a good season, and Ben, Russ, Iain and Tionette are also planning to be in North America for the start of the season and there is a new Kiwi racing; Michael will be joining the mens team and I am told he has a lightning fast push. So it will still be a big kiwi crew on tour.
