To Helen.
I just wanted to say, thank you so much for the money and support. This has meant that I have been able to book to go on the training camp to Turkey. Due to all the ongoing costs with the Championships, there was no way I would have been able to afford to go on this training camp.
The training camp is just me and my coach and is such a brilliant opportunity for me.
I will be able to get much needed experience in sea swimming. Both the European and the World Championships swims are sea swims. I have never competed swimming in the sea and it’s totally different to usual open water swimming. I will need to learn how to jump over waves to get in and out of the sea and deal with tides and salt water. There is also a 50 meter swim pool nearby and lots of long bike routes. My coach has 2 hour climbs on the bike planned! There will be some really hard training.
All this along with the fact I will have 1 to 1 coaching really gives me a fantastic opportunity to get faster and stronger. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the support.
I’m also saving up for my wetsuit. I’m borrowing my coach’s old suit for the training camp while I can get enough money up to buy one but hopefully will be able to soon. I’m working hard with my homemade dog biscuit business to get some money.
Thank you again for all your help and support. I can’t wait to get racing, and I will let you know how I get on.
Regards
Logan MacNamara
