OLYMPIC HOPEFUL: In Windy Weymouth (From Dorset Echo)

OLYMPIC HOPEFUL: In Windy Weymouth

8:54pm Thursday 6th October 2011 in Lucy MacGregor By Lucy Macgregor

We've been getting the training hours in during the last two weeks in Weymouth in amazing conditions.

Last week during the 'heat wave' we trained with the laser radial girls which I have to admit was quite entertaining at times, but a great week despite it starting with a fitness test!

This week the heater has been turned down a little so the shorts and t shirts have been put away for another few months but the breeze has been awesome.

The last two days we have had 20-30 knots while training against the Russian team and a couple of wipe-outs to go with it!

Tomorrow it looks like the wind should die a little (below 20knots at least!) so hopefully we will head out to the Nothe course where the spectators will be next year and beat the Russians in some training races!
