Miami OCR Day 4 and 5

We are getting ready for the final day Medal Race tomorrow at the OCR.  I am sitting in 6th overall after the last two days of sailing.  Things have not gone as well as I would have liked over the last two days, but I have fought back hard in all the races from some mistakes I have made.  Earlier in the week I was having trouble with my first upwinds and again the last two days have been much of the same and at this level you cannot always have great comebacks!!

We are looking forward to the medal race tomorrow and trying to move into the top 5.  The goal coming into this event was a top 5 finish so even with the difficulties its a huge positive to still be in a spot where we can reach that goal tomorrow.  Looking at the race I am 4 points in back of the Slovenian sailor and 8 points in back of the Australian sailor.  With the double points medal race anything can happen so we will go out and try to execute a good race tomorrow and see where the points fall.

The website below will be showing the race with live tracking and commentary so be sure to follow!!  We have a 12:20 start time for the Finns.

Thanks for the support!!!
