Gold in Palma

I have recently been competing at the Princess Sofia Regatta, which attracted over 100 of the best Lasers sailors from around the world so it was a very competitive event.

Luckily my wrist seemed to hold up well, and I am really pleased to have won this event, it gives me even more confidence to go into the Olympics!

I've just spent the past two weeks fitness and weight loss training in Palma prior to this regatta to get ready for the lighter winds in China this summer. My training schedule involves cycling, gym strength work and training on the water.

In Palma there are sea breezes in the afternoon and the water is nice and warm which is always a bonus!! The training has been varied - racing, tuning, round marking general tactic work and debriefing / coaching. The weight loss isn’t quite as hard as the last Olympics because this time I have a bit longer to lose the weight.

I have been back in the UK briefly training in Weymouth, and I will be heading back to Palma again to continue my training there before I head out to Hyere, France.
