 Season EndThe RSX World Championships ended on September 30th, which finished my 2006 season. I came home to Vancouver, was in bed sick needing recuperation for two weeks and then went to Vipassana, (a ten day meditation retreat in Merritt, BC). Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of Indias most ancient techniques of meditation. It was a very interesting and rewarding experience and will most definitely help my mental game in competition. And now... I am back to planning for the upcoming season and working hard at the gym! I am very excited to have qualified for National Team in windsurfing!!! especially in my first season. Next year in July is our first Olympic Qualifier, in which I hope to solidify my spot to represent Canada the the Beijing 2008 Olympics. Until then I am optimizing my training opportunities to gain as much experience and skill as I can. This year I had several new supporters join me on my journey to Beijing. Thank you! Iventa, NeilPryde Waterwear, Lululemon, Sailworks, Lufthansa (free windsurfing baggage!) (I've attached the latest ad (using me) by Sailworks www.sailworks.com, which can be found in the winter addition of Windsurfing Magazine. Pretty cool ad eh!) This week I head to Cocoa Beach, Florida for a Canadian Sailing Team training camp. Following that I will be going to Buzios, Brazil for another training camp for 3 weeks. We are an international group of 5 girls training together. They are all top sailors, three of which were in the top 10 at the World Championships, so I will be in great company and will be working very hard to keep up and learn as much as I can from them. till soon, Nikola Girke posted by editors at 11/15/2006 10:51:00 AM |
