This past weekend we spent training with the US Sailing Team at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was a great experience to meet other sailors, learn about nutrition and physical fitness, and finally get pushed to our physical and mental limits. We trained with the best sailors and coaches in the country, coming home with many new ways to improve our conditioning. Most memorably was the Navy Seal training to test mental toughness. For Jeremy and myself it was one of the toughest things we've ever done. The session included jumping into a freezing cold lake, rolling in the dirt, and lifting heavy logs as a team. The air was cold and breezy, all of those factors made for a miserable experience which set a new bar for cold and fatigue. Thanks to US Sailing for putting on an awesome program and inviting us, stay tuned for more on the build coming this week.
