British Open and 24hrs on a bike!!

With the British open getting under way on the 10th of September, my training is starting to get more specific. I'm bringing in more explosive sessions, specific movement patterns and a lot more ball hitting than over the last few weeks. I'll get more practice matches under my belt in the coming fortnight and try and get everything coming together.

Last weekend I travelled with my Bro up to Assen in North Holland for his 24hr race. I had been to one of his races before but hid bike basically fell to pieces on the track and he pulled out. This time he absolutely demolished the field and won by 8 laps of the 8km track. He covered over 400km in 24hrs. Pretty bloody crazy if you ask me. I stayed awake the whole race giving him the food and drink he needed and I thought I was tired!

Results

Just a quick rundown of my results in the past month. It kicked off with the Aussie Doubles Champs....

Australian Doubles Championships - Winner Men's (with Stewart Boswell)
Australian Open - Runner Up (to Stewart Boswell!)
World Games (in Chinese-Taipei) - Quarter Final (to Azlan Iskander)
Malaysian Open - Round of 16 (Farhan Mehboob)

All in all, not too unhappy with my results. I was looking to go further in the Malaysian and I REALLY wanted that Aussie Open title. That is high on the priority list for next year.

Next event is the British Open in the second week of September so until then I'll be preparing for that.
