My natural position in this fleet was about 5th, so if I had a really bad start my elastic would pull me forward, and with a good start and first leg, my elastic would pull back.<br /><br />I think that it's a great way for people (and coaches) to manage expectations while at the same time setting goals for improvement.Doug / Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161131921177367663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743510240401399331.post-14535883085353661312015-08-04T22:59:29.348-07:002015-08-04T22:59:29.348-07:00Hi Doug, congratulations for your result as ...sen...Hi Doug, congratulations for your result as ...senior Gm! We will miss you in the GM fleet.<br />I am not so happy of my performance in Kingstone ( I finished 26) but this gives me the motivation to improve my weak points. The nice thing of sailing in this competition is that you realize that having some good speed is only a fraction of what you need to stay in the front of the fleet: being ready psychologically but above all experience and capacity to 'read' the sailing area and to manage the difficult situations are also mandatory. Finally It is right that sailors with much more background than me are in the front and that if It happens than I round a mark in sixth position my elastic bring me back to my natural position! Hope to see Pam and you in Italy next year!

I must admit that previously winning this event (Korea 2006) takes a lot of pressure off and lets me truly enjoy the experience that I like to share. There is nothing quite like it.Doug / Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161131921177367663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743510240401399331.post-88759298385140248382015-07-25T14:55:28.251-07:002015-07-25T14:55:28.251-07:00Thank you so much for sharing this entertaining an...Thank you so much for sharing this entertaining and informative journal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
