Day of FASTING (training day 2)

Bonjour!

Today marked the beginning of our official fast. Lucky for us, we have Julia training (choo choo) us to cut the weight. She has us not eating or drinking, and with a planned sweat run scheduled for tomorrow, a hospital visit is almost a guarantee. Just kidding! Or are we!?!?!?!!?!?!

As for the on-water session, today we were joined by a number of new boats (Japan, USA, Italy x2, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland, and England). Due to a connection with the American team, we were able to do some speed tuning. After no more than 10 minutes, two boats turned into a mini SYWOC training session. It was as though the regatta had already started! I guess it was our good looks and fantastic gear that attracted the other teams.

Anyways, we're looking forward to the practice race tomorrow and finally starting off the competition.



Here's to some good winds!
