As JD Sports is taking a kicking from 250 chavs, I'm in Aviz [Portugal] on our final preparations camp for the 2011 World Rowing Champs. Positives - the pictures look great and the water is great for rowing on. Negatives - its so hot my wee evaporates before hitting the toilet seat [joke].
So far I've escaped sunburn (thanks to factor 50+ cream and stick) and have only come close to passing out once. The day in question was yesterday; an hour ergo, no air flow and a body temp resembling arrests per hour in Hackney. I'm not really a heat person, much prefer the cold - surprising when I grew up in the OC (Old Cassop not Orange County).
The camp has so far been dominated with discussions on the riots and the love/hate of the heat out here; therefore I haven't really got much more to talk about!
My current daily routine -
6:15am Wake - take heart rate, produce blood and urine samples.
6:30am Breakfast
7am Row
9am 2nd Breakfast
11am Row
1pm Lunch
4pm Afternoon Tea
4:30pm Gym
7pm Dinner
9:30pm Sleep
Around that I will have meetings/physio/sleep/quick 10min cool off in pool.
My bro's Ben and Paddy are back from China and Peru, my sis Emily is still available for chimney sweep work.
