21/08/05: World Cup Finals Selections and Kelly!
Congratulations to those athletes selected (see here for selections) forKelly shows off her medals to the Sheffield crowd this competition especially those who will be making their debut and to Heather for who it will be her final international race. I hope it is as exciting as Kelly Holmes's farewell which we witnessed at Don Valley yesterday!

Oli was unavailable for the World Cup Finals stating 'Right from the start of the year I have been planning to finish the season at WOC - this is aKelly's final track run in the UK choice that worked well for me last year and I think will work well again.' but I was very much available and am once again disappointed not to be going.

I am looking forward to leaving my job at the British Orienteering Federation at the end of this month and having a chance to separate a part of my life from the sport I love. I will be working for www.planetfear.com here in Sheffield and hope that I will find some motivation which is of a more positive nature than the 'I'll show them' feeling which is all that's getting me out training at the moment!
