To avoid the crazy mayhem of the organised training with 40 boats we got up at 6am and were on the river at 7am. It was great as we were the only ones there until 8.30 and the athletes all had a good session. Collected croissants, pain au chocolat and baguettes and then back to house for video review and a chill out- homework, movies etc. Made mac cheese for lunch and ate heaps more cherries that Shaun had picked. We are now giving them away to Swiss team and they giving us chocolate.
Next session 2 pm and after that went for a coffee. Some of the team went up to the castle . I walked from town to managers meeting at 5pm, then cooked butter chicken, rice and cooked cabbage. Kids enjoying home cooked meals and flexibility of when and what to eat.Currently lots of guitar playing, bongo drums and singing with Luuka and Kidda. Callum and Bradyn gone to check out cherry trees in garden. Shaun into town to catch up with some of the Swiss.
