Rattler Sailing

Got sick twice in two weeks 👎
Basically haven't moved more than a couple 15 minute walks every 2 or 3 days 🫩

Pete and I have a 100NM SSANZ 2-handed race next weekend, and I missed our training window due to being couch-locked 🤧😷
Racing fully crewed both days this weekend (that's soorrrt of like 2-handed practice, right?), and my whole body feels like it's turned to jelly from lack of movement...

Which is all to say: THIS LUNCH RIDE FELT SO GOOD!!! All I had to do was go to the bank but man it was delightful. The sun is out and warm today, the jade is blooming, my lungs feel clear-ish and my throat mostly doesn't hurt, and I even managed to hold back from sprinting (okay, except for that one stretch... 😏)

I'm so ready to be healthy again 😂 let's hope the weekend (and the 3 weekends of racing that follow) doesn't kick my arse back down the hill 😅🤞

Roll on winter sendy sends!!! ⛵💨

The Windsurfer winter series has been so rad. I've got a long way to go before I'm racing hard but joining in for the starts and then tootling off to go train on the side of the course has been great for my skills.

I finally started learning how to use my harness today! Definitely going to be a game changer once it starts to click 😀🧠

Thanks to Antoinette from Captain Darwin for these pics at our first series a couple weeks ago 😁 getting close to confident enough to bring the GoPro out soon too 😊
