Bye Bye Leysin ..Hello London ... .then "finally" Beijing !

Early Tuesday am I  departed my Swiss home in Leysin . It's been over 3 month since I arrived there in May and  I have loved every moment .

Who knew it would be such  a long journey .. the joys of travelling !  My flight from Geneva was delayed a very very long time ... which consequently meant I missed my connecting flight to Beijing. The rescheduled flight was  24 hours later  - and meant that I got to spend a whole extra day in an airport hotel with no luggage , or training gear! Luckily the sofitel hotel was brilliant and meals were all taken care of . It just meant I only arrived in Beijing on Thursday afternoon , after no training for 3 days and on a completely different time zone . It  didnt really bother me at all  -I  just get frustrated from boredom more than anything and just felt tired from doing nothing ! I didn't mind doing no training  - as I've always run well off rest and went I went for my first short jog after 4 days on Friday morning my legs felt  fresh  ( not a common feeling !)

It's Saturday and I race tomorrow at 1.30pm . I've just returned from watching the men's  race in the cold and rain but wouldnt miss it and of course it was great to watch Ali win in style again . Also gives me a few excited nerves for my race .  

Ok time to chill out and rest up more :)
