The SOF regatta had been all fininshed on 28th and
after I got the first on the medal race(the 11th race), I ended
with the third place overall. Paige(USA) won the gold medal once
again after the world championships in
Brazil last year, and Sophie(FRA) got the second--almost the same
as the world results. Surely I am very happy to be the top three in
this world event. Still, I was so worried about my
performances during the downwind leg in very light air--for I was
overtaken by 32 boats during six light wind races. I coundn't find
the feelings as well and donno what I should do about it. So even I
had very good start and good courses in upwind, I could also drop
to very bad place in light conditions.This is the most serious
problem on my sailing skills at present, so I need to slove it as
soon as possible while training overseas, otherwise I will have no
advantage to compete with the world top sailors. Despite the better
performances during the medium wind, I am not good at strong
wind,too. Because of my weak physical power! This is an old problem
which consisted all the time when we started to sail Laser Radial.
And we will keep train hard to remain good sailing performance
during strong wind.
We will drive to Holland tomorrow afternoon and
then stay there just for a few days only to move to Austria for the
World sailing games. Hope I can sail better then this time in
France and get some apparent progresses. See u there!
