On the road

We've been on the road in Europe for ten days without one day off. We have had either official competition training days, competition or travelling across country in the vans (13 of us in two vans). Yesterday my legs honestly felt like they were made out of lead!! The 6+ hours on the road from France through Switzerland, Austria and into Germany was the standard road trip.. Grey skies, snow, rain, cramped conditions, toilet jokes from the boys, bad radio reception, one Macdonald stop, GPS sending us astray, mad drifting on the icy roads by our professional driver Pete and arriving into the village of our next hotel just by dusk. Fairly standard really. With two more competitions to go everyone on the team is looking forward to home and me just to having some days off and booking a massage! Putting those thoughts aside for a couple more days we are about to head up to the course in Oberjoch for the official training day.

Fingers crossed we don't have to put on chains on the vans with the new snow overnight!!
