Milan, home of high prices, designer clothes and really really old churches. Had some fun there and did a bit of sightseeing but ended up completley and utterly lost in Milan somewhere trying to find the Duomo Catherdral. Was an experiance because absolutely noone speaks english over there. But I stilll had fun, got there eventually and it was well worth it. There's heaps and heaps of old churches and buildings in the city which makes the city fell ancient, along with narrow cobblestone streets its hell for driving.The shooting was good, fairly good conditions but the range was really weird. Had to shoot off a table about 5 feet off the ground and not built to accommodate a strapping 6ft guy like me, my feet hung off the end and sides. In the elimination round i came twelfth with 592. In the main round I shot a 590 and I think I came about 30th or 40th. In the end my results were good, showing consistency in all of my international shoots this year has put me in good stead for the Olympics. The pizza in Italy beats all else, pizza and pasta are just sooo good there. I lived off pizza for 3 days, waking to the store to get it and back throught the 4 star hotel lobby in my shearing singlet and boardies with takeaways each day, dont think the staff liked that too much!
So.....we should be hearing in the next day or so about selection for Beijing 2008, will probably still need funding so don't forget about me yet!!All in all the trip was a total success, heaps of fun and a great experiance. But, it was absolutely fantastic to be home even though its incerdibly cold compared to the Meditteranean. theres nothing like going away to appreciate coming back.
