Subject: WOW!!! Number one in the world! Who would have thought??
Hello Everybody!
Well, as some of you may have already noticed (and thank you for your e-mails) I am currently ranked number one in the world on the ISAF World Rankings! Yay! Tonight I am going to have an ice cream to celebrate I think!
The last day of Hyeres was a bit of a joke as we managed to race in some super light and super shifty conditions that normally we would not race in. I finished the regatta with a 23rd in the last race. Obviously my worst race, and therefore became my drop. Even with that terrible race, I didnt move from my 12th overall. I feel pretty happy with this event, and looking at my results I see that I sailed pretty consistently in all the different wind conditions that the place had to offer. I do think that I could have done better, but I always think that and I know that. I was sailing with a clear head the whole time and I have taken the time to reflect on the things that I can improve on in the future. For now though, I am back to training.
Right now I am in Riva Del Garda at Lake Garda in Italy. I am here until the 15th of May and I am training and then I will be racing the Lake Garda Eurolymp Regatta. It is an ISAF Grade 2 event for all the olympic classes. The sailing here is perfect... every day at 1pm guaranteed there is at least 12-15knots if not more. Like clockwork. I am training at the moment with some of the standard sailors as there arent many radials here yet. Its been good and I am looking forward to the next few days training with some of the top guys in the world...
For now, I am going to find a printer and see if I can print off the page that shows me on top of the world!! he he he... it makes me giddy, and it also makes me want to continue on the upswing and keep training harder and harder!
I really hope that all of you are doing well and I will write again in a couple weeks. The website for the regatta here in Garda is http://www.fragliavelariva.com/
ciao from Italy!
