team racing

i haven't been updating as i don't see a need too... the past week was usual with school restarting on thursday and that was pretty normal, on saturday i basically just bludged, staying at home the whole day doing nothing but watching tv. today was the only time i've sailed this week and the wind was very strong, it was blowing 20-25 knots in the first race, 15-25 knots in the second and 10-15 knots in the third, clearly that pattern was evident in my results, 3,2,1... out of 4!... in the first, we did two laps and in the first i managed to stay near to alex and another sailor... but after the first downwind i fell back until i was about 1/2 a leg behind alex who was second. in the second race, the wind was a bit lighter, and i managed to stay within the vicinity of the top 2 and on the first downwind i overtook both to round the bottom mark 1st, however, the wind picked up the following leg seeing me drop the 2 positions and i only managed to catch up one position to finish right behind the 1st boat. in the final race, the wind was moderate and i was trailing the 1st boat the whole race until the last downwind when i overtook him to finish about 5 boat lengths in front.
the coming week will be exciting as i have a team racing competition on saturday, i'm representing woollahra and i'm very hyped up...
cheers and good luck to the ss ppl taking their mid years...
