From stress to rest is what I put this last week into being. Coming into this week I had just raced in Christchurch on the Sunday and woke up early the next Monday to start my road trip home to Dunedin to make my 11am class, safe to say by the end of the trip my bum was more than sore and I was ready for the walk into class, but not the sitting obviously.

This past week has been non-stop and managing everything was definitely a learning curve. Coming into the week I knew I had a lot on my plate and trying to balance what I knew was coming was daunting. Starting on monday I was completely sick with a virus, struggling with brain fog and not having sufficient sleep, not a great start to a long week of mid term exams and racing I know… I had been struggling with the cold for almost a week and was hoping it would resolve itself as at first it didn’t seem so terrible, but once I got the point where I couldn’t think, concentrate, remember things, or breath from being fully congested I do have to admit a few break downs were had.
