Olympic gold medallist Heather Stanning is looking forward to getting back into her boat after a tour of duty in Afghanistan as she begins training for the 2016 Games.
While many soldiers would be looking forward to a chance to relax and unwind, Captain Stanning is turning her attention to the Team GB rowing trials later this month as she aims to compete in Rio.
The 28-year-old Army officer has been forced to use rowing machines to keep in shape while she was away.
Asked what it was like to train in the Afghan desert, she said: "It was pretty hot and dusty, and when the sand storms came up you could really feel the dust in your lungs. It was challenging.
