Suprising?

Hey,

Remember my last post where I said that I was going to have a new coach and new triathlon mates?

For those of you that don't know yet, my life will change in the next days. And yes it was my decision - a big decision which I don't know yet what I was thinking about...

I'm going to move north. I will live 1 year away from home. I'm going to do my postgraduate degree in Norwich, UK in the University of East Anglia. I'm going to study Experimental Economics.

The travel begins on the 11th of September with a full day of plane trip to London and train to Norwich.

Now I have a mixture of feelings: I'm anxious but worried, I can't wait for the new environment but I'll miss my family, friends, the places I like to go and, of course, the portuguese weather (It's raining in Norwich today :S)

I leave you with a map and some photos of my new university and the campus (University of East Anglia)

August

I know that you are still in August but I'll make a review of what was this month for me.

First just to say that it was a month of constant movement: after arriving from Coimbra, I had 2 days in Lisbon, 3 days in Porto, 3 days in Lisbon, 4 days in Costa da Caparica (to the beach), 1,5 week in Lagos (Algarve) and I'm back to Costa for my last 3 days of beach time (I will need these hot and sunny days for the future!).

Second it was a month to finish my IELTS (International English test) degree successfully, to conclude my internship report and Finally after 3 years I have finished my undergraduate degree!

Third regarding training sessions it was not a month of recovery but a time to return to the base training, to think about my future goals in triathlon (yes everyone has a goal) and to think about my 2011 season - the preparation for this season will begin in September with a new coach, new friends, new environment and of course more work to do in my postgraduate degree.

To resume it, it was a month of conclusions, decisions and holiday with family and friends.

More surprising news coming...
