Getting Back in Shape
I finally returned home last night after a fitness camp in Austria. I joined several other members of the sailing team for a intense week of training at the BOA lodge in Austria. We had quite a strict program each day consisting of at least 2 activities. The training was aimed at improving our base aerobic fitness. It didn’t take long for my feet to start feeling petty sore from the cross country skiing boots as blisters started popping up left right and centre!!!! Compede pads were my saving grace and got me through the week. The high light of the week for me was probably the snow shoeing. It felt like a great sense of achievement each time we reached a peak and even more of an achievement when we all got down in one piece!!!
It was quite a demanding week but a great way to kick start the training for the year, I am still feeling pretty tired this morning as I try and plan for the year.
Getting back in the boat should feel a lot easier than slipping my cross country skis on!!!!
