I flew in from Milan on Wednesday evening after joining the GB senior women foilists at our pre-European training camp. It was a successful camp and was great for team bonding. We shared a flat and enjoyed cooking and living together in between training sessions. We had two fencing sessions a day plus a fitness session in between and were suitably shattered by the end of the day. It is really hot in Milan at the moment and so it took a while to adjust to training in such warm weather conditions – it is not always easy when you have to put on full-on fencing kit and a mask in the summer! Still, it was great for fitness and ultimately, it will benefit us in competition.
Next time, it would be great if we could invite another country to train with us either in Milan or in London. We are hosting the next Senior European Championships in Sheffield in 2011 and it would be an opportune time to train with other nations who may decide to come to London a bit earlier prior to the championships.
The rest of the GB team going out to the European Championships next week are still out in Milan. Keep going girls! FORZA!
