Radial Worlds 08 smashed

Well the laser radial World championships 2008 are now over and we are now home. In the last post I was 16th overall and I said that I wanted to come in the top 15 and that I did. Overall I ended up 14th in the world and i am stoked. Grant, Kelsey and I were talking bout what we should expect results wise before we went over to
New Zealand and we came to the decision that if it was to be a windy regatta my goal would be to finish within the top 15 and if it was a lighter regatta I was to finish in the top 5. Unfortunately for me it was a strong wind regatta haha none the less though coming right behind and often beating men much older and heavier than I in such strong conditions and decent waves was a pretty satisfying feeling. All those hours in the gym and hiking made a big difference to my speed and my positions.
 
The last day was so frustrating for me though because I worked so hard in the first race of the day to end up 5th on the last downwind and all we had to do was the bottom reach and finish. There was a bit of wind on and right before the bottom mark I was surprised by a side wave the tipped me over. I got the boat up but not before a wall of 10 boats passed me at that moment and I finished up 15th in that race. After the race I had to sail away from everyone and release my frustration in private and after I did that the better I felt. 

The next race however was worse and was one of my overall drops. I was infringed off the start big time, the guy did his turns but it was already too late for me. Luckily for me though my closest competitors were in the same positions as me when we rounded the top mark so I was happy about that. I ended up sitting comfortable in 14th overall with a bit of a point difference around me. We had presentation on the last night in a stadium function room and after a few drinks the night became increasingly better and we all had a lot of fun and luckily Ryan and I had the next day to sleep in whereas others had early flights. Unlucky for them.  

Next on the agenda in teams racing open states and then our Laser state titles. Til then peace out…  rq-ghetto.JPG
