Well, the regatta is over. I ended up finishing on a good note, after a very sour note! On the first day of finals (Which ended up being our last day of racing) I finished with a first and a second. First from the back of the fleet in the first race, then second from the front in the second race! I figured it would be good to just see what it felt like to be on both ends of the spectrum! I qualified very last in the Gold Fleet and managed to climb 8 positions to finish 38th overall. I am happy that this regatta is over and that I had those experiences. It really is amazing how bad you can feel when you're last, and how exciting it can be at the front of the fleet. I prefer the front!
I've just arrived today in Hyeres, France with Mike Leigh and Kat Wade. We had a nice drive over from Palma. Now I'm going to start training here to prepare for the Semaine Olympique Francaise which starts on the 22nd. I'll post again before then!
