What a season! I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped me get this far. My friends and family have been incredibly generous sponsoring me to train out in Canada last winter. A mystery donor generously provided the funds for my ski bob and more later in the season for skis for which I am really grateful, and a further £ 3,567.97 was raised through my sponsored biathlon, which covered my training costs. Two Seasons ski, surf and snowboard shop has also contributed with kit and through various fundraising activities. Thank you, your support is really appreciated.

I'm happy to be back home at my favourite time of year in England; the blossom's out and when the sun's shining I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It's a real treat to be out riding on the handbike again, which my great friend and inspiration Rachel Morris (two time world champion) kindly lent me since I came out of hospital, thanks mate!

I’m back playing wheelie basketball again, which is so much fun, and getting up for early morning swim training in Middleton Pool, Newport Pagnell. It’s a pleasure to get up for morning training in this weather rather than the trial of cold, dark November mornings and feels great to back into fitness training after a week off.

BBC Look East did a piece on my progress yesterday in the snowdome, take a look at the clip on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7363894.stm

I'm going to join the team at the Chill Factore (the big, new snowdome in Manchester) this weekend for the end of season review and some ski training. Will report back.

All the best

Anna
