21/08/05: World Cup Finals Selections
and Kelly!
Congratulations to those athletes selected (see here
for selections) for
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 a
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!
