The Gym

Today there was no wind and I had to go sailing. I rigged up my boat and sail, and was ready to sail after the briefing which always is about 30-1:30 minutes each time, but he says the same thing over and over again, but each time differently.

While we were waiting for the coach my sister was showing off her mandarin to the Singaporean boys sitting with me. They were amazed and then the coach came in. He was also impressed by my sister and then he started talking away about team racing. The wind died down and we had to go for physical training in the gym.

My parents were in the members lounge, they were not surprised as there was no wind forecasted for this morning. So we went for a work out. In the gym we first had to run for 10 minutes straight with no breaks. I ran for 11kmph for the first nine minutes and in the last minute I ran 13kmph. This was only the warm up for the 2 hours of the gym session. Next we stretched for 5 minutes, now we had to do all the weight lifting machines in the gym and each one, we had to do 2 times. Then we had to do 30 sit ups, and then the machines again for 2 rounds and then again 30 sit ups. Next we could do anything we wanted while someone was on hiking chair. Finally we finished with pretending to sit 90* against the wall. This was the end of physical training for the day, in the afternoon we were sure to go sailing unfortunately in light winds, but this is better than nothing.
