Artemis Racing Team Update
__Extreme Sailing Series - Oman_
Wow. Finally underway!
As soon as we woke up, today had a different feeling
to it. We have been training in the Extreme 40 for a few weeks now. But
unlike most Classes, "training" in these boats is just doing a lot of races!
Since arriving in Oman, I would say that we have probably competed in more
than 60 practice races! All of them counting for exactly.....zero points!
But today was different. No matter how much we have raced against the same
teams in the practice races, today all the races would actually count. With
only four people on the crew, it is pretty easy to get a read on how the
guys are feeling. And today before the first race we could all tell that we
had a slightly elevated level of anxiety. Perfectly natural, but we had to
make sure that we didn’t let it change the way we had been sailing. So we
all agreed to try to keep it cool and treat it like any of the training days
we had done up until now.
What we really needed was a good first race. And we got it! We had a great
start, battled it out on the first leg, and rounded the first mark in the
lead. From there we sailed pretty well and sailed across the finish line
letting out a big breath. What a great way to start.
From there we had 5 more races and finished the day tied for first place
with 3 other teams. So, it is very tight in this class!
We will all go to bed tonight happy that we have our first ever day of
racing in the Extreme 40 under our belt, and tomorrow we will know that
anyone can win out there....why not us?
