Twenty twelve gold

In July 2005, to the delight of the nation, the International Olympic Committee announced that the 2012 Olympics are to be hosted in London. Lord Coe said: “This is just the most fantastic opportunity to do everything we ever dreamed of in British sport.” I have one of those dreams - to compete and represent Britain in the discipline of Archery. This Blog records my progress of my attempt to compete at archery in the 2012 Games, having no prior competitive experience.

So you don't think I can do it right? Why not make a bet at poserfish.com with odds that I cannot refuse?

As 2006 comes to an end

The few weeks leading up to Christmas have been interesting. First off I entered another indoor competition at a new club called Arrowheads. They are a school based club in Barnet. Being a new club there were not a huge number of entries, but out of the 29 that were in my division I managed a respectable score of 513 which gave me 13th place – not anywhere near my recent personal best and slightly disappointing as I was hoping for a top ten placing. It was a well organised event and I liked the idea of pairing up the school kids with more experienced archers. It’s good to think that (although not quite at my one year archery anniversary) I can train, compete and give something back to the sport already.

You may have heard of a website called Crazy Goals. I have registered my 2012 Olympic Archery goal there (see this link). As such I have been approached by a filmmaker with their own goal on the site. So I met up with Jess a couple of Saturdays ago and took part in some archery filming. The footage is in production at the moment but I’ll post a link to it on my blog when it’s ready.

In the meantime I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas. Here’s looking forward to a great year of archery in 2007!

    Nick - I think your 2012 countdown timer is wrong? They're saying on the news today that it's 2012 days to go, but your timer says 2011?
