Olympic Update - Final day for me...some gains and some losses had me finish in 15th today3 comments. Olympic Update - Finally another race....A lot of waiting recentlyAugust 15, 2008
Well, well, well&.there has been a lot of waiting recently. After our first two days of racing we were supposed to have a rest day, which we did. Then, the 14th we were supposed to race but didn't due to lack of wind. That ended up being a long day of waiting. That meant that today, our scheduled reserve day was going to be a race day. We were supposed to start at 12:00 and have two races. The wind was forecasted to be good - building from 10-15knots and perhaps 18knots. It actually started off okay, but as soon as we got to the race course, the wind slowly died and did some crazy shifts. We were postponed several times during our starting sequence due to this. Finally we were sent ashore at 2pm. At 3:45 we were once again called out to the racing area. The wind was still funky but did eventually fill in nicely to get off a race. There were some random shifts and puffs. I had a super start and was going quite nicely up the first beat but missed the big shift and puff on the left and ended up rounding not so well. I caught boards on the run, up the next beat and was in about 9th position until the last run. I had got planing, gybed back to early and got out of the breeze. A couple girls who had kept planing got past me. I finished 13th.
After 5 races, we've had our first drop, which means that you drop your worst race score. It has put me into 16th place overall now, as I didn't have as big of a drop as other girls. Consistency doesn't show it's true colours until later in the regatta, when those girls who've dropped big scores will have hopefully added some more big scores&.. Two races scheduled for tomorrow. But you never know what can happen! Thanks for your support, nikola Added by KC5555 Source: www.nikolagirke.com
