Final phase

We're just about to start our 'final preparation' camp here at Dartford so all the team plus training partners are coming together for the next 10 days. We were lucky enough to persuade the British Judo to get us into the Hilton just down the road from the Dojo - massive props to the 2 Gemmas for their charm and persuasion skills! Don't be fooled though - they are both ferocious on the mat! All the support staff coaches etc. will be together with the athletes so it should be a food atmosphere. Everyone will be working on their own individual targets but we all have the same goal- to win medals. I know the excitement is building and everyone at home is getting really into it. For me at this stage it's about remaining focused and concentrated, but it does make me smile and gives me a really warm feeling when I see the support out there. It's unbelievable the amount of people who have in some way helped me to be here, and very humbling. The thing I'm most looking forward after the Games is a great big Sunday roast with all the family! Maybe a 3 day feast haha! I'm obviously hoping all of Team GB do well but also everyone who has worked hard to get where they are and are prepared to go the extra distance.
