After arriving here on 28th December with my cat and my P5, I can honestly say I’ve never worked harder. My coach Darren Jenkins from Nevagivin Training sets my program and at times I thought he’d gone a bit mental. I think if you can survive his program you can definitely bring it on race day.

So as my time out here comes to an end on Thursday, I will most definitely be sad to leave. I’ll miss some of the loveliest people here but I’ll also be happy to see all the lovely people I miss from home. Every year I come out here to train through the winter months (Jan and Feb). I’ve got to say that the weather here is also not without its challenges, mostly in the way of wind but the Andalucian countryside has to be some of the best cycling terrain anywhere and one of the most beautiful places to train.
