Cold weather practice

Texas can be cold too! One of the first weekends in January we trained in very cold weather with lots of wind. At least working out hard keeps you warm! Although you may think the trick to staying warm is obvious, “Elfi, just don’t get wet!” But unfortunately staying dry is not an option when sailing a laser, you will get wet. Yet, the key to coping with the cold is lots of layers of clothing, good wet or dry suits and keeping your head warm. (I recommend using hats with Goretex wind breaking material inside). Making sure you have a warm cup of hot chocolate waiting for you when you get back also helps! (Thanks Coach Fatih!)
