Yesterday I landed back in the UK after a gruelling altitude camp. I was pleased with my personal performance, with a PB on every ergo I did.
The lake has a large cafe at one end of the dam; so throughout the day you have coach loads of austro-german pensioners stopping off for a quick bite to eat and a good old push-in the queue. The views are amazing, but this can be lost on you as you get into the tiring stages of the camp. Today I've been training at Caversham and tomorrow I will fly out to Portugal for our final preparations for the World Championships. We will fly straight from the camp to the Championships in Bled [Slovenia]. I'm generally in great shape, but with some back niggles - as many rowers have! Thankfully we have great medical staff.
My brother Ben is racing well in China and my brother Paddy is on his flight back from Peru - hopefully he doesn't start spouting "gap-yah" tush.
I will be able to give more updates while in Portugal. If off to buy some more suncream as will be 40+ degrees!
