Website Developments
Over the past couple of weeks things have gotten pretty busy
here is a quick update of some of what’s been going on in my life as I prepare
to head off to London tomorrow. Firstly I have been doing a lot of work to my
website www.danielholt.co.nz so that
it is now much easier for people to follow me while I’m away. I have added a
new section called “London 2012” under this tab you will find information on
the Paralympic village, aquatic center, but most importantly I have but up a
list of all my events in both UK time and NZ time so there is less confusion as
to when I am racing. Also under the news and updates section you will find
links to live racing footage, my facebook and twitter feeds, and my blog, which
will be updated regularly while I am away.
Secondly I spent a morning working with the awesome team at
Massey University to put together a video promoting both the university and
myself if you haven’t yet seen this video it is well worth the watch you can
find it here.
School Visit
Thirdly I returned to my old primary school. Sunnynook Primary
who invited me to speak about my swimming and the upcoming Paralympic games. I
Spent the afternoon showing them lots of photos and after I had finished
talking there were lots of questions asked before I was presented with a card
that they had made wishing me luck to my upcoming trip.

As well as this I have still been training as normal. For
the last few weeks we have been conducting regular time trials to track my
progress as we approach the games. These have all been going well, I
have been steadily getting closer to my Pb, which at this stage in our
preparation is ahead of our targets. So things are all looking good so hit out
some blinding swims once the games begin. I am now packed; I am starting on my
journey to Swansea tomorrow, where we will be based in our holding camp until
the 25th of August. After which we will be moving into the London
Village to finish off the rest of our preparation before the Paralympics start
of the 29th August.
