What a day.
Finally everything comes together for me. After waiting for more than a year
for the perfect circumstance to set some new personal best records. Today was
the day for me. I’m totally stoked with the results. Finally my average is over
the 70 km/h. Is took a long time to achieve this.
Today was
the day of smiling faces at lake Horst. The water was for this wind really
flat. The gusts were strong and I found the place on the water were you have to
start your run. In the beginning I did a few 68 runs but when the wind turned
on I started to set runs from 71. At one moment I saw a bug gust coming in and
I was on the right place to start my run and hit the gust. The acceleration was
in sane and at the end I saw a max of 76.7 on the dial with a run of 73.15.
Mission accomplished time for food.
After the lunch
brake I managed another 72km/h 10s run but the best was gone for me. The wind
was still increasing and my 6.2 was getting a little bit to big. I spoke with a
few other guys and what they were telling me that is was raining personal
bests. I saw only smiling faces on the water.
What a nice
day. Also good to see that I’m still faster than Marco B.
