Nice start to the year. A bonus speed session which was a very last minute decision... mainly thanks to Ian and Ant for calling me last night and suggesting I join them today.

It was an early start... waking up at 2am (Ian texting me, lol) and leaving the house at 3am after a final check of the forecasts. I arrived at WK just before 7am and we were on the water around 8.30am. We sailed up until 12.30 so it was the best part of four hours sailing / walking / waiting.

I was struggling to get high speeds today, especially early in the session and I wonder whether my 5.1 would have been a better choice for the day. My 4 fastest runs were all back to back when the wind picked up and the angle was quite broad. Most of my 10s runs were within a knot of the peak speed which shows some consistency.

Still a good decent result for me and a chance to get some additional practice. Let's hope that 2015 is a good year for speed!
