James, I've finally got round to registering (after nine-pack asked me some months ago.....I'm kitty from MT). I've been following your progress with interest but missed the last couple of days. Having just caught up on it now I'm sat here in tears, I can't decide whether it's for respect at your true sportsmans attitude or the fact that I was so wanting you to win the comp.
I was out for a meal with some members from MT on Saturday including Paul George and his other half (who....sshhh, is a fan of yours LOL), I took along my iphone so I could access this site as I was so keen to know how you had done. I was walking round with a beam on my face for you but at the same time wishing you'd got the top spot when I got the results.
You are a credit to the sport and I am sure you will have inspired many people with this journal and I'm sure we'll all miss your progress on your prep for the Brits, maybe you could reconsider this one (pretty please).....I find when I am preparing for a comp it helps me not only to write down my own experiences but to read others and I'm sure many guys will think the same.
I hope you get over the dreaded lurgy soon, there's something in the air at the mo, my hubbie is the same
Take care and happy training (but not before you're ready):lift:
