Day 3...

My new cell phone is +011-55-21-8890-2698. I am usually available before 9:30 AM and after 6 PM.

Spent most of the day measuring our race sails and then a 2 hour training sessions with the Uruguayans and Mexicans. Breeze was on today. It was good for me to get a hard hiking session in (reminding me of the pain so I can mentally prepare for it if we get a windy race day). Unfortunately Augie has come down with a cold, but he is fighting through it. He was definitely sailing fast today!

These large international events are tough. Staying mentally and physically ready is a challenge when there are 5 pre-race measurement/logistics days prior to the actual event starts. I have been running in the morning to keep my legs strong. However the days are long since we spend about 4-6 hours a day on fine tunning our boat and Pan Am Games equipment measurement.

Tomorrow is another long day of equipment measurement. Practice race is on Saturday and the first Pan Am Games sailing race is on Sunday. Racing will last all next week. Stay tuned! Thank you for following my blog and for keeping in touch!

My friend, if you get lost in all of the whirl of pre-racing, remember to look to the sky and there will be the guiding mullet.
