The great chocolate milk shortage

Chocolate milk helps athletes recover after endurance training as it contains both protein and carbs, so rowers are big fans of chocolate milk. As the Henley Royal Regatta looms closer the international crews are starting to arrive in Henley to train for the big event. 

Our local Waitrose is full of American giants in lycra and when we heard them looking for chocolate milk we used our local knowledge (turn left at the pasta sauces and then right into the milk section) to get there before they wiped out the supplies. This crew definitely has the home advantage when it comes to steering through Waitrose!

I wandered down to the river early this morning - all the regatta tents and buildings are going up, it was warm and the water looked lovely. We just heard that Tom's quad has pre-qualified for the Fawley Cup races so it's starting to get very exciting.
