While most young people sleep in during the school holidays, the young LYR athletes at Thames RC have been working hard this half term break. With sessions starting at 8am all this week for the competition and performance athletes, and afternoon training sessions for the novice athletes, the tideway has been a hive of activity for LYR in West London.
With snow on Monday, torrential rain on Tuesday, the blue skies, flat water and (relatively) warm temperatures were a treat for the athletes and coaches on Wednesday morning.
