First a little background on this event. North Americans draws competitors from all across the world. I practiced with a guy from Malasia and aslo a group from Purue before the regatta even started to give you an idea. There are hundreds of top notch athletes competing here and it is a very prestigious, world ranked event.
This is the second day of North Americans, yet we are still to get a race down in the books. Yesterday was spent waiting on shore for the wind to steadily fill across the course till about 1400. This was when postponement was taken down and the 200+ at this regatta launched for the race course. After a few false starts on the full rig course and a couple more postponements the PRO(head race committe) decided to abandon for the day. Of course as soon as we were half way in the wind filled in for what could have been a nice day. However after a nice bike ride, some protein and yoga to recover I am well prepared for a long day today. The race committe has six races planned so it should be a full day! I am excited for the challenge!
