Yesterday was the first day of official training, so a
landmark shift in atmosphere. This can be an uplift for some, and a shock for
others as all the competition flooded in from European Championships – all part
of the performance development experience. What it was for all of us was a
chance to show off our National Uniform, and (notwithstanding that the Brits
seem to spend more on uniform than our entire budget), the Team NZ made a very
solid first impression.

A chance also therefore to thank Jeanette McLennan for her skill in assembling the Team’s uniform in the weeks before
departure – thanks Jeanette, it’s awesome

By the way, if you’re wondering what the course looks like in full flow, here’s a view from the iPad:
The step into official training also marks a shift in balance
towards the business end, emphasising training and recovery. So yesterday
afternoon was an opportunity for people to settle back and relax Polish style.

Finally, we also got a change in the weather. For those considered
whether we’re surviving the European heatwave, fear not – today went sour! Enjoy :(
