Had such a great training week in Cornwall!
Great to get some gym, running and water sessions in with Rosie -- thanks for having me to stay!
Rosie has been paddling faster than should be possible and got the news that she had qualified for SLS world championships in addition to ocean racing.
Ginnie Betts is a fantastic SUP paddler and has been representing GB for years. We had never met in real life before this, but when I was in Australia for Worlds, she gave me a pep-talk on messenger which helped a lot , so I wanted to say thank you in person : )
Mousehole Harbour. Grew up with the story about the cat and the big storm, so this was a special place to paddle. Orange Café is amazing, too.
Managed to catch up with Ginnie and finished off with a paddle out of Mousehole harbour, Land's End parkrun, a paddle on the Fowey with Emma (so lovely to see Jean, James and Kevin, too!) and ice cream in Gorran Haven with Sue. Feel like I should mention that it was not a holiday and I did get a lot of work done -- next translation out shortly! -- but feeling very lucky to be able to work and paddle in beautiful places.
Emma and I paddled together when I lived in Cormwall
Quite a few sessions around St. Michael’s Mount.
First training session near “the poles”.
and quite a few runs.
