Just back from a good weeks badminton training camp at the Olympic Training centre (CAR) in Barcelona. Great venue for training with excellent facilities, not bad food, and accomodation all in one complex. Badminton hall is the not great but there is a good football pitch so that makes up for it.

Also lovely weather - so so much better than the UK.

The running tests killed me a little more than usual, so I think I need to start running more :)

All the Catalan badminton players have improved which is great, and along with the new coach they will hopefully get some great results this year. We also had a few Welsh badminton players on the camp, and I think everyone enjoyed it despite being tired by the end of the week. All the Welsh contingent were a big help in making the badminton camp work so well.

Next week - prepping Aimee Moran for the UK School Games, and getting Sarah Thomas on track for the Commonwealth Games. Sarah is playing the first match in the Spanish Badminton League for Madrid against Veleta Granada. I am surplus to requirements :( and not needed anymore...I get to play against Ibiza next month :)
