Looking forward to the Games

Team GB's only female weightlifter Michaela Breeze gets ready to fly out to China to prepare for the Olympics.

Last chance blog before departing for Macau (holding camp). I fly on Wednesday evening from Heathrow so have a long journey ahead of me.

Four hours to Heathrow then an 11 hour flight and a one hour ferry crossing. Can't say I'm looking forward to that but I am starting to get excited and thoroughly looking forward to being part of the Games.

Training has gone Okay, not much more to do now before departing and then the first few days will only be light training to get the travelling out of my system and adjust to the time difference.

I know some athletes have already gone out and there will be lots more after me. We tend to fly out at different times depending on when we compete. We go early enough to adjust to the temperatures and time difference but not too early.
