22nd June - DSE Nationals and Beijing Selection

A lot has happened since my last update, after the Paralympic World Cup I got my head down and got a few weeks of hard work in up to the British Open at Manchester. The British Open was a competition I really wanted to do even though I wasn't fully fit, I wanted to go and compete. I managed to win the club with 30.56 metres and claim silver in the discus with a season's best of 15.23 metres which I was pleased with. All in all it was a solid days work and gave me confidence because I performed well despite being less than fully fit - I know there is plenty more to come!

Shortly after the British Open I got the news that I had been selected as part of the GB team for the Beijing Paralympics. I have to be honest and say that I expected to be select for the club but it's still nice to hear the words and get confirmation. It's a massive honour to represent Great Britain and the prospect of competing in my fourth games is very exciting.

The next few weeks are important in the build up to Beijing and I'll be putting in a decent shift for the next month. My next competition is the CP Nationals on 19th July so I'm looking for another consistent performance there
