This day ended up being rather light and was great for recovery. Our morning session became a recovery row, we probably only got in 4 or 5 kilometers. Jackson and I went out in a double. There was not a single instance of rain today, and we could see a blue sky. The conditions were fairly nice at the start of our row, but the wind quickly changed directions and all of a sudden we saw large wakes and whitecaps.

Once we got back on land, it took awhile to get warmed up again. As usual, a bowl of delicious porridge made the cold go away a bit faster.

We had the afternoon off, so we decided to check out Dunedin's indoor pool. Sitting in a hot tub felt amazing after a tough week. The pool even had a large water slide, which was hilarious to ride down because it was so rough and fast. Sometimes it felt a bit like we were being waterboarded though..

After dinner we listened to a lecture on nutrition. The nutritionist suggested "pre-workout snack, during workout, recovery snack, breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, pre-workout snack, during workout snack, recovery snack, mid-afternoon snack, dinner and supper". I'm a big fan and definitely subscribe to the same philosophy.
