Day 20 of training: Indoor Archery World Cup in Singapore

By 16/10/2012Archery

I’m thoroughly enjoying my holiday. In the morning I wake up really late, I have a cup of coffee, turn on the TV, browse the news on the internet, and do some reading before I have a late breakfast. Yeah, right. Stop. Rewind.

I wake up at 5:20am, get on my motorbike and ride to the Hua Mark Sports Complex in Bangkok. Here I run 2km on the running track, do some stretching and return home. I take a shower and at 6:30am I’m already in bed for another hour of sleep.

I have breakfast soon after 8am and then go to the archery field where I help the Thai team clean the field and set up the targets. We then shoot until noon, have lunch and relax until 2:30pm. We then shoot until 5pm. This schedule is fixed, regardless of the weather.

Well, the day is… almost over. Three days a week we also go to the gym where we lift weights (and look in the mirror). By 6pm I’m dead tired and all I want to do is have dinner and go to bed.

Welcome to my world. (I’m still thoroughly enjoying my holiday.)

53 more days to go!
