It was IOM Sunday and the big focus was on Team GBR training – we had four of the GBR guys out thrashing the reservoir in A rig slightly lumpy conditions. Terrifically impressive and they did both morning and afternoon.

The atmosphere, as ever at Datchet, was friendly and supportive – and I learned a fair amount watching the boat setup. We had two Proteus, a Britpop and a Viss. Extremely interesting.

Expecting these intense training sessions to continue from now until the Worlds are won.
