GCSE Mocks, Rowing training, trying to keep my fitness up, meeting friends and trying to get a ride in...
Over the Christmas
holidays I have basically spent it all in my room or at the rowing club. My
Mocks seem to be getting increasingly closer (next week, eeekk) and I don't
seem to have learnt anything. I am at the club at 8am most mornings to do our
rowing outings (and when it's freezing, windy and raining, I tell you, they are
no fun at all!) Yesterday morning was even more entertaining than usual because
it was high tide so we had to wade out to put the boats out. The river was over
our knees and we where soon frozen with the freezing river and not being able
to warm up for 3 hours because we were out on the water for well over 3 hours:(
Toppey (my Pony)
seems to have been a bit abandoned this holidays riding wise as I have been
rowing 5 times a week while having family over and revising. I took her out
this morning though and she really enjoyed the 1 1/2 hour long ride with her
boyfriend who came to visit. We had planned to do dressage this winter but that
has gone completely out of the window after realizing how much work I really
had to do! She also has a repeated load of rain scold on her head, (if you
don't know what it is, it's basically where she goes bald because of bacteria
and it's really hard to get rid of after she's got it) So she isn't looking too
attractive at the moment either!
Right better get back to my joyous revision,
Hope everyone had a good Christmas and Happy new year!
