Review: 2005 Modern Pentathlon Senior World ChampionshipsGreetings
from had
a consistent shoot, a terrible fence, a poor swim and a fantastic run. Unfortunately
everything did not balance out in my favour at the end of the day and
I did not advance to the final. This has been an experimental year for me as
I tried some different approaches to my training as well as mixing in a full time
job which made things more difficult. That being said,I fully expected to fence
much better than I did and should still have been in a position to make the
final. On the bright side, if there is any year to have a poor showing at worlds
it is post Olympic year and I certainly don't have to worry about the effect
it may have on my funding which you may remember from my last email is currently
at the zero mark. There is some good news as I recently got word that I
have been selected as one of twenty deserving athletes across the country to receive
an Investor's group bursary. This was unexpected and very, very helpful in
light of the recent funding developments. I
am fortunate to have a strong community backing on the confirmed
with the success of my Swing to the
honour to work with many great coaches so there is still lots of hope and I am
eager to get back to training and build on my past experiences and triumphs. Tomorrow
I will be competing in the Team Relay here at the World Championships where
I hope to have some better performances and gain valuable experience with a
new team. I have a very good feeling about this team composed of my Olympic tam
mate World
Championships and myself. We will be a medal contender in as little as two years. My
final pentathlon competition in 2005 will be the Canadian Nationals Championships
which will take place in Thanks
for your encouragement! Sincerely, Kara |
