Fall Update

I have been in Newport, training hard and preparing for the Melbourne World Cup. It was great to do a training session one on one with Anna Tunnicliffe. We worked on many things, but my biggest takeaways were learning how to hold my boat in one place, the importance of building confidence, and breaking everything down in to little pieces so you can attack them one at a time. I also learned the importance of measuring everything, from settings to fitness to progress.

I have been practicing the things I learned during our session, as well as going to cross-fit to work on strength and toughness. It has been really cool to practice new skills on the starting line in the frostbite fleet. I leave on Thursday for Australia and can't wait to execute some great starts in a world cup event!

I have also had the opportunity to work with professional photographer Matthew Cohen CohenPhotography.com. Here are some samples of his pics. Look for them to show up on this website and on Facebook.
