Not so sunny Palma…
Wednesday 10th March, 2010
Well, the rest of the squad arrived and the wind, rain and more depresingly SNOW arrived too! Our idea of coming to Palma to get some warmer weather training didn’t seem to smart this morning as four of us were frozen to our bikes while on a 1h30min cycle! Luckily it warmed up a little and the snow stopped before we went sailing today allowing us to get a good session in, working on our downwind communication between the three of us. In for lunch at the moment and about to go out for another quick boat handling session…
Sunny Palma
Thursday 4th March, 2010
We’re coming to the end of a great week of training in Palma, the sun has shone for us and despite breaking a rudder yesterday!….we’ve managed to get a load of hours on the water. For training partners this week we’ve had the joy of Nick Cherry, Ed Hill and Katie Mac’s presence and we’ve had Si Shaw coaching us working on upwind tactics. Nick has been snapping away so we’ll hope to get some pictures with you soon! One more day to go and then a weekend off before the squad come and join us next week.
Bye for now x
Perfect conditions…but we’re not sailing in them!
Friday 22nd January, 2010
We have just had two beautiful days in Miami, however unfortunately we’ve not been sailing! The boats have been unavailable while they are prepared for the Rolex Miami OCR, so it has ‘forced’ us to have two days off to go shopping, visit the cinema and enjoy the sun… it’s a hard life!
Our training over the last week in the American boats and in this venue has been really useful, and we have gained a lot from it even though we had very light conditions towards the end. After a couple of days rest and relaxation we can’t wait to get racing, which starts on Monday, however before that each team has two official practice sessions, along with registration, weigh-in, etc to completed over the course of the weekend.
