British Championships

I had the British championships last weekend i was really nervous running up to it but it was okay in the end. I weighed in on friday and i made my weight without having to diet too much which i was really happy about!

I fought Saturday and unfortunately i only had one fight :( it was a bit of a miss match i won it within 40 seconds because i kicked her in the head so she was counted out. I felt so bad after though i spoke to her and she was okay but i couldn’t take any chances because this was the 6th year in a row i have won the nationals and i want to go to the Europeans in October.

Bag Packing...

On the 23rd of April, I went in to Asda and did bag packing to raise money for Tae Kwon Do. We went in for about 3 and a half hours and we managed to raise £150!

It went really well and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to do this. This will really help to fund my training. Thank you to the people that helped me and thank you Asda.

Duke of Edinburgh

Just came back from my silver D of E expidition which was 3 days long out in the hot whether, and it was hard! We had to carry all our stuff we needed for 3 days including tents, food, rubbish.. EVERYTHING! i weighed my bag and it was almost 15kg! 2 and a half kilos where just water :L

I loved my group, a couple where struggling so we had to pull together as a team and get them though, but we got there in the end and we were on time which was even better!

The night walk was definitly the high light of the trip! it was so funny, people were screaming like every 2 minutes because the guys were jumping out at people! It was such a good laugh, i would definitely recommend it. Just make sure you have some amazing walking boots :L

Exams and training

My exams are coming round so quickly! It’s hard to keep up with them and training. I have 20 exams all together! I have so many I can’t actually believe it yet :L should be a good challenge.

I’ve had to go back in to school during Easter holidays so do revision and tomorrow I have to go in again from half 9 till 3 to d pe revision. But it’s not all that bad since I love the people who I have to work with and pe is always good :)

Also my training got cancelled tonight so I’m really looking forward to having a good hard session tomorrow night :)

With a bit of luck should hopefully raise quite a bit :) I’m going in next Saturday which is the 23rd and I’m really looking forward to it! I’ve never done it before so it will all be new to me.

However it’s the day after my silver Duke of Edinburgh expedition which is 3 days out in the middle of no where :L so I’m going to be shattered but still.. Can’t wait! :D

Back from Belgium

Got back from Belgium late last night, overall I think it was a really good trip away!

I won my first fight against Croatia 17-5 and the fight had to be stopped because when there is a 12 point gap and the refs stop the fight. so i went in to my second fight a little bit more confident and i went on to win my second fight as well. The score was 8-3 at the end of that one, my next fight was for the medal and it was against Sweden.

I had fought the girl before in Sweden and i lost on golden point, but unfortunately i lost this time. I didnt get kicked in the head though! Which i was really happy about! because last time she got like 3 head shots on me :/ in the 2nd round i was winning 6-5 with two headshots so i so close to getting the medal but just missed it.

So i just missed out on the bronze medal but i think i fought well and my coach was pleased with me to :)
