With my lectures and tutorials having finished at university, and a
couple of weeks before my exams started, I was keen to head back home
for the first time since New Year!
Trying to fit in
training, university work and all the lifestyle things like cooking and
shopping while being away in Edinburgh has really made me appreciate how
easy everything was at home. The cupboards in the kitchen magically
stocked themselves up and my dirty cycling kit would somehow clean
itself ready for the next training ride. Yes I realise that my parents
may have had something to do with that, but now that I have spent 6
months living away from home I have started to really enjoy living
independently and having no option but to be organised. Combining my
astrophysics course and training plan with this has been really
difficult and this has meant that I probably haven't come into the
season in as good shape as possible, but it has been a massive learning
curve, one which I'm sure will benefit me in future years!
A
massive plus side of coming back home to the highlands and living in
the countryside, is that there is actually some decent mountain biking
to be done! So one of the first things I did when I got back was head
out on my new enduro bike and introduce it to some of the local trails.

Now I just have to get through these exams and I will be able to focus on training a bit more!
