Since 14 July we have been here in Alfas Del Pi outside Alicante in Spain on a training camp. Me, Gerd and Indrek came first and then Kim and Niklas on the 17th July. Märt Israel will come on the 23rd July as he was competing at home in the Estonian Championships.
The training has been going well for everybody and everything is on schedule. No injuries and good spirit. The meaning of this camp is to prepare Gerd, Niklas, Kim and Märt as good as possible for the European Championships in Barcelona coming up within ten days.
This place is also very nice and after sessions we go in the ocean at Albir beach or in Benidorm that is close by. We live at this hotel on the picture in Albir and train in the nearby town Alfas Del Pi. We have been here many times before and it is always good to be here.
The heat is hard to deal with but one of the reasons for being here is to get used to it before we go in to Barcelona. Tomorrow me, Gerd and Indrek fly into Monaco for the DL meet there the day after. We meet Märt there and hopefully Gerd and Märt will throw well.
Niklas and Kim stay here during that time and train together and from the 23rd July we are all here again for some more days until the 28th July when we all travel in to Barcelona.
Niklas and Kim will then start in the qualification in the EC on the 30th July and then to follow with qualification for Gerd, Niklas and Märt the day after in the discus. The final in the shot is in the evening the same day and the final in the discus the day after.
As it looks now it will be exciting to see how the guys do as things are well for all of them. We hope for the best.
