European Championship

Hey
Europeans have started yesterday. It could have been better in term of results, but i did good things, so i am also happy .. Its a mix of good and frustrating feelings.
The 1st day we had medium winds, and shifty too ! In the 1st race, i finished 3rd, and sailed fast and smart ! But when i get back onshore, i noticed i was BFD ! :( In the 2nd race, i had a bad start and then i sturggled most of the race in the very back of the fleet, top 15 from the back ... but managed in the end to catch up a lot of places .. to end up 16th. My downwind was great and last little beat too !
Then today, we had 2 races, in some building breeze in the 1st race, and with stronger wind in the 2nd one. In the 1st race, I was coming good to the 1st top mark (in the top 5), but missed the last shift 60 meters from the mark and lost many places. Then i was around 15-20 and fucked up my 2nd beat .... I was frustrated and not focused on what i had to do. I lost places again on that beat, but managed to catch up again downwind to finish 14th.
Our 2nd race was windier and i really wanted to do well because so far i was often closed to do great things but always something happened ... I had a good start and a good speed all the way through the race, managed to get the shifts right, and the waves too .. I won that race in front of Sari. Very happy :) and finally i have a good race counting for the overall !!
Tonight i am lying 25th which is bad, i know .. but i will try to do my best tomorrow and the next days to move up in the overall rankings !
Bed time, need to be in good shape for tomorrow ...
Til next updates,
Sophie
