Montreal is cold!!! I came back to this tournament that I love. The members at the club are amazing. I played my first round against Latasha Khan. Although I won in 3, it was a tough match, with Latasha hitting some great kills from the back court. That meant I came up against Samantha Teran in the quarter finals. It was a massive grind in which I won 3/1 with 3 of the games ended 13/11. The match went for about 90mins. I came up against an in form Natalie Grainger who recently beat Nicol David in Malaysia. It seems my quarter final match took it out of me and my legs werent responding well. Grainger played amazing and I lost in 3. Her pace and shot game was far too good on the day.

I head back to NY tomorrow for a 4 week block of training. I am looking forward to getting back into training and will keep you updated on how its going.

Bye for now

Hi

I apologise about the crazy hacker messages that come up on here. i have to change my password to my email so it wont happen again (hopefully). I have been training with the Malaysian squad for the last week and a half. My next tournament is next week where I play a qualifier 1st round. I am enjoying Malaysia and training hard. Highlights have been visiting the biggest indoor theme park at Times Square and the fact that there is hot Milo every night at dinner at the Institute where I am staying (mmmmmmmm hehe).

anyway will speak again soon

So I played the first round against Omneya and lost 3/1. Had the worst start imaginable. I think, being the first Wispa tournament Ive played in a long time, it took me 2 games to actually get in a mode where I was thinking straight. Like, I tried to make it more complex than it actually was. In the 3rd game, I just kept it really simple and had 2 thoughts going through my head, in keeping the ball straight and looking for the opportunity to play a straight drop and won it 11/1. In the 4th I was up 5/0, but then got tired, so was forced to just lift it straight down the wall so I could catch my breath back so I could lift again. She took advantage of it, and moved me around. I thought, if I could get a few more points after 5/0, she would give up on the game, but I was rooted at that point. So its back to training to try to get fit again, I guess.

Arrived in Malaysia

Ok so I have arrived in Malaysia for the KL Open and still have two days until I play my first round against Omneya. So now its a matter of keeping fresh and sharp until the match, and generally, just killing time. I am staying close to the National Squash Centre with Lisa Camilleri, so its easy, just to walk. The weather is very humid, compared to the freezing conditions Ive endured the last month in America. Anyway, I will tell you all about the match in a few days.

heading into the first competition of the year

So heading into the first competition of the year in Kuala Lumpur in two weeks, Ive had alot of matchplay this week, with the likes of Nat Grainger, Omar Sohby, Mark Price, Amelia Pittock. Next week I will taper off for the tournament. I feel like I am playing better so will be good to see how the training is going during the KL Open. Today, I am playing in a round robin in Greenwich then playing hardball doubles for fun then have a death training session with Rod (death training, because you feel like death at the end).
