#85 | Notes on Cold Water Resistance Training & Abandonment Technique

I found an interesting document on a pen drive over the weekend- given to me by the organizers of the Velux 5 Race  10 years ago, it was a series fo notes prepared by the Race Officers after discussing with Alex Thompson and Mike Golding, Mike’s fantastic rescue of Alex in the Southern Ocean in 2006.  At first the notes seemed a little wandering, but I think you will agree when I read you Mike’s account of the rescue that these notes come hard won, and well considered- you tell me what you think!
