Au micro Colin Greenaway
COLIN, WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS TRAINING CAMP?
We came here for the final phase of our preparation.
When we return to the UK, we’ll begin our real racing season.
This is the perfect opportunity to train the boys and get them into the rhythm, ready for competition.
In terms of FACILITIES?
The environment here is ideal: it allows us to do what we need to and achieve the results we’re aiming for.
It’s very peaceful, we have the lake all to ourselves, the gym, the ergos…
But above all, we can bring everyone together and train in a calm and focused setting.
Our main goal is the National Schools Regatta at the end of May.
This training camp is a real opportunity to lay the foundations and properly prepare the crews for that race.
