When I arrived at a Lake Chiemsee at 9 am I met my friends and coach<br \/>\nUwe. He already coached me in Lake Garda at Easter. He is a very experienced coach who has been to lots of World and<br \/>\nEuropean championship.<br \/>\nSo we had a short briefing which is a kind of a meeting. Then afterwards I got a boat from the club with a USA sail<br \/>\nnumber and got changed and rigged the optimist. So at 10 my friends and I went on the water. We trained till 12 o clock and<br \/>\nthen came in to have sum yummy food. Some people cooked some traditional barvarian food called \u201cReiberdatschi\u201dmade of<br \/>\npotatoes which are mashed up and in the shape of a medium sized pancake. Then at 2pm we sailed another 2 hours till 4pm.<br \/>\nYou could place your optimist in a massive marquee (kind of a tent) so you didn\u2019t have to de-rig your optimist. Then after an<br \/>\nhour or so we all went home.<br \/>\nDay 2, Tuesday 25th of May<br \/>\nToday wasn\u2019t like yesterday. It was cloudy and had loads of wind. The day started at the same time as yesterday. At 10 we<br \/>\nwere on the water. We went on the reach down to the far end of the lake and practised starting. It had 35 miles per hour wind<br \/>\nwhich is a lot. Then started going back to the club. It took upwind about half an hour. Finally we got in. It wasn\u2019t cold but I<br \/>\nwas really hungry. The people from the club prepared hamburgers which were really nice. We had quite a long break so today<br \/>\nwe came in at 4:30 pm.<br \/>\nToday I had a sleep over at one of my friends house. He has a massive house and garden. We went on the trampoline<br \/>\nfor 3 hours until 8 and then had supper. The food was really nice. Then we stayed up till 9:30 and then went to bed.<br \/>\nDay 3, Wednesday 26th of May<br \/>\nToday was nice weather and a good wind. Today like every day we set of at 10 o clock. The morning was really fun because<br \/>\nwe played a game a bit like rugby (but on the water). You had 2 teams and a water bottle. One team had to try and get it to<br \/>\nthe other teams mark and the other team had to get it to your mark. But you were only allowed to sail 3 boat lengths with the<br \/>\nbottle. However if someone missed his team member and the bottle went in the water then the other team got the bottle.<br \/>\nAfter 1 and a half hours my team won and we came in to have or food. Today was somebody\u2019s birthday so we had<br \/>\n\u201cSpaetzle\u201d (sort of noodles) which is a well known piece of food in Germany. Then at 2 o clock we sailed a few races and did<br \/>\nsome other stuff till 4 o clock. When I got changed my friend came home to us to Munich to have a sleepover.<br \/>\nDay 4, Thursday 27th of May<br \/>\nIt drizzled a bit in the morning AND It had no wind. So in the morning we just did theory till 12. Today we had hot dogs<br \/>\nwhich were really nice. Then in the afternoon came some wind. We still did 9 races in which I won 7 races, came 2nd in one and<br \/>\nthen 6th in the other one because I capsized when I gybed.<br \/>\nToday I slept at my friends house again. This time we went to bed at about 10pm.<br \/>\nDay 5 Friday 28th of May (last day of training)<br \/>\nIn the morning we did no sailing because some people had to do a sailing test which I already had done. But in the afternoon<br \/>\ninstead of sailing an Optimist I sailed on a catamaran with a friend and his mum. I went in the trapeze which a really fun. Then<br \/>\nwhen we got back in there was a massive Party with cakes and lots of food.<br \/>\nThis week was very fun.<br \/>\nBy Benno Marstaller<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 1, Monday 24th of May The day started of warm and sunny with light winds.
