Perth International Regatta was my first event back after my health issues. And with the show of international talent that had made the trip down to Australia it was straight in the deep end! It was a tough event, and it was only on the last day that I started managing to race properly again. But it was nice to see that my speed and fitness are coming along ok, all things considered.
I'm sure it's going to be an invaluable summer, albeit an incredibly hard one. I know there are going to be a lot of ups and downs as I get my head back into racing, and I can't wait for the challenge! A big thank you to all the people who have been supporting me through this tough year. I know I wouldn't be back on the water without you all.
Loving being back on the water!
