i360
I’m stoked to announce (in a slightly more official way than this Tweet) that I’m now sponsored by i360. They’re a US company that are just moving into the European market and they design music infused apparel. So I should shortly be rocking headbands & beanies that not only hold my iPod and pump music straight into my ears but I’ll no longer be tangled in wires while I shred! It also means that one of my reasons for not completing my Couch to 5km running course is now invalid (I can’t do it because my headphones fall out and it interrupts my stride). Of course I’m sure I’ll find another reason not to run (it’s dark at night, I’m tired after work etc) but maybe I’ll get at least one run in before I go back to slacking. So a huge thank you to them for hooking me up.
I also managed to hit the snow this weekend, Jools had to head up to Hemel to get some photos of some of our friends so I had a chilled session on their boxes practicing some presses and spins while giving my new Laurus face wrap a proper test. It was a great session and not only did I stay snuggly in my new jacket (cheers Sputnik) and facewrap but Jools got actual photographic proof that I held a tail press! I was so pleased he managed to catch it because although I’d been able to press my Plastictastic on the flat I felt like I wasn’t really committing on the boxes. It turns out I am! So it’s good to know that the flex on it is as good as I thought.
Apart from shredding things have been insane on the work front, I’ve been travelling the country to visit NHS Trusts and tell them about the NHSE Membership I’ve been working on for the last year and I’ve also been working on the presentations we’ll be giving at the first of our Discovery Sessions next week and then the NHSE Conference the week after.
I’ve also submitted my application for a slot in the Burton European Open, I got a place last year but had to pull out due to injury so I’m hoping I get a place again this year. I really want to give it a go and as I’ll be out in Laax anyway I’ll be pretty gutted if I don’t at least get to ride the qualification round. I should hear at the end of the November, so until then I’ll just be practicing as much as I can.
