Niice day - stoked to get a 46 average, 48.34 peak and 46 on the 500m on GPS although I think my ratified time is slightly lower. Pushed as hard as I could today but it was really gusty making 500m runs tough again. One run i had a lull at the start and went through the gate at 40 and finished the run at 48! Other runs I would hit 46 peak and then a big lull at the finish and get a 40kt 500m.
Its been an amazing 2 weeks and one hell of an experience both mentally and physically. There is no other place like this but its very tough...you cant just turn up and get fast speeds, however the photos look! I've learnt so much though - great speedsailing
Thanks to Rik for your help and Farrel for your advice and getting the board to me just in time. Thanks to Patrik for advice on the course. Massive thanks to Jonny Lomax for all the training in the run up and agreeing to come on the trip with me and giving huge support and taking awesome photos!
And of course my wife and daughter....cant wait to get back to see them!!
