What a week!

Gosh, where do I start? Decided to give my day chair a bit of an overhaul since I have some Fenwicks bike cleaner and didn't realise there were so many bits to wash/scrub! It's about time, as I've had it for three years now...
Jonathan Riall at BTF asked for volunteers for a classification course last weekend so I went along to Coalville as an interesting 'body' for the trainees to decipher. I now have three classifications (all the same). We enjoyed a lovely Italian meal afterwards.
I also received two pieces of really exciting news!! One is that I am finally going for a trial of FES at Sheffield this month, so I will become truly bionic soon! My physio thinks it may even be possible for me to walk without sticks for a friends Wedding in August and I'm planning on maybe dancing a bit! She is giving me some exercises to help loosen me up ;-)
The other is that I have been sponsored by The Challenged Athlete Foundation (CAF) for my trip to the World Paratriathlon Championships in September. With my racing chair still to be completely paid for and the Europeans booked, it's fantastic news.
