After flying from Dublin to Amsterdam at 6am on Tuesday morning with Paul Hession, we met up with our coach Stuart Hogg and Nick Smith and set off for Cape Town. We then had a 20 minute drive to Stellenbosch, better known for its vineyards (wineries) and got there at about 11.30pm.

Of course being the insomniac of the group I watched a film until about 1am before getting around 3 hours sleep. Luckily there was just a warm up for Wednesday’s training. Today we started training properly, we had weights and then some 50m sprints, which was very nice in the 30 degree heat, especially since just last Monday the track in Belfast was closed due to snow an ice!

Track session tomorrow so I’ll keep you posted!
