“Hi all.

Had my first 2 days of training. We vet up at 5.30 have breakfast then go down to the high performance centre for 30min of intense core exercises. Then on water at 6.30. Row about 16km then come back and do stretches. We then have showers, breakfast and then get ready for school.  We start school at 10 most days and finish at 2. We then go back go the lodge have something to eat and be back down at the high performance centre by 3. We then do stretches before getting on the water and doing another 16km. The trainings will get harder and longer as we get closer to champs. We also have a few weight trainings and ergs during the week. We don't have weekends off but we can go to town, movie etc between rows. The lodge is awesome we have free wireless so we can use facebook and send emails. The food is great and There’s always food out so your never hungry. We can go to bed when ever but by 9.30 you usually pretty shattered. That's all for now, thanks for all you support to help get me here. Will keep you posted.”
