Today was the last day of the finals series and it was my last chance to keep my top 6 position to make it in to the medal race tomorrow. We had a range from 5-35 knots today with some big shifts on the course. I finished the day with a 6th an 8th and a 2nd to put myself in 3rd position going in to the medal race tomorrow. The way the system works now is that the placing you are in is what points you carry in to the race. Meaning that it is possible for anyone to win.

Yesterday we didn't get out on the water until 4 and started the first race of the day at 5. It was to windy to leave shore so we had to wait for it to drop. Both races were run in 20-25 knots in some shifty conditions. In the first race I came from behind to take my first win of the regatta. The second race I got unlucky with the shifts and finished 9th. Today we had anything from 5-25 knots with up to 90 degree shifts. One of the coldest days I have ever experienced. Finished the day with a 5, 22, 15. Still coming 5th overall with one more day of racing left before the medal race.

Another great training session today. We had a different wind which looks similar to what we will have for the regatta. The shifty and moderate breeze is suiting my style well and I am feeling very confident. The boat is all registered and measured. I will have a day off tomorrow to get fully prepared before racing starts on the 21st.
