Olympic Update - Stormy Conditions
This should've been my day....
August 17, 2008
but it wasn't. We woke up to lots of wind and heavy rain - and through out the day bigger and bigger waves and heavier rain squals. Conditions I like (except for the pelting down rain that actually hurt while sailing) and conditions I'm good at. Our start was at noon. Finally a day of racing where we weren't waiting around all day. In both races I had a great start and then somehow I kept slliding back in the fleet. Laylines were difficult due to heaps of current which meant I underlayed the top mark several times, which means I had to throw in a few extra tacks which is really slow. I fell a few times, was going slower than my norm in these conditions and I did think that for 2 legs of the first race I had either weeds or a plastic bag attached to my fin - which doesn't help the speed either. What could have been a great day for me turned into a dissappointing day - I just wasn't on fire. I posted a 15th and a 13th. At the moment I sit in 17th overall but 5 points out of 11th and with 3 more races to go before the medal race, anything can really happen. I just hope that I can turn it up for tomorrow!
till then,
