Miami OCR
One day before Miami OCR begins! I have been in Miami for the past three weeks training in order to prepare for what is sure to be the toughest regatta I have experienced in my 7 year sailing career. Competitors from all over the world have been filing in to start their training, which has been great for me since I have been able to practice with them. I feel I am in good physical and mental condition and I am getting comfortable with the full rig now. I am excited to see where I stand in a true international regatta, I think it will be eye opening and I am hoping to learn from this experience so I can further improve my knowledge, skill, and experience!

Miami Pre- OCR
Today was the end of the US Sailing training camp that started Monday. It has been a good week of training with the team. I am in Miami, FL where Miami OCR regatta will be held at the end of the month. This regatta is the largest and most difficult regatta held in the US because of the level of competition that travels here for the regatta. Some of the best sailors in the world are already on site and in training mode. I will have the opportunity to train with some of them in the coming weeks and also fellow team mates that are living in the area. I am excited for the next week of sailing and gym training that I have ahead of me!
I am putting my all into OCR and I can not wait to see what I am capable of!
