Well, the second day of finals for us was discouraging, we made a lot of mistakes, and capsized on the run in the last race even though it wasn't really that windy.
The last day however, we started to put together the pieces of the lessons that our coaches have been trying so hard to get us to learn and execute. Our goal for this last day was always look forward to what our next move was, and make gains. We really need to switch from learning mode to race mode. So, we finished with our best day of racing. It was a great fun day with medium breeze and interesting tactical decisions. We were right in the mix the whole day.
Kristen and I are now on our way to Kiel, Germany, with our car, the "petite fromage" and boat and trailer. The equipment will all stay in Kiel until our next European regatta in June. In the meantime, we will be training hard in San Francisco working on boat handling and developing confidence. We will be going to Kiel to compete, not just learn.
Thanks for reading! See you on Saturday in San Francisco for the Elvstrom Zellerbach!
