What Was Supposed To Be A Days Training

YOUTH AND MASTERS

Two very different days in this weeknd one hardly any wind to race and the next too much to race. However on the not very windy day the UKWA managed to squeeze in 4 races. Unfortunately for me light winds is not my prefered conditions but tried to make the best of it. The last race had even less wind than the others and in places Weymouth Harbour looked like a millpond. Luckily the wind picked up a bit on the 2nd lap unfortunately by that point I wasn't doing very well. By the end of the event I didn't do very well and ended up finishing 2nd 6.8girl. That doesnt sound too bad but my overall place was 27th out of 38 which I didn't think was very good. Overall I wasn't too happy and tried to put that event behing me and look forward and train hard over the winter for next season.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS-WEYMOUTH

WIt was my first world championships and I didnt know where I'd fit into it all. I know how I am against the other biritish girls but I didnt know if I'd be 22nd or where I came which was 4th!!After the first couple of days I was 3rd and 1st brit. But unfortunately after the remaining days being windy and not even racing on due day due to to much wind it saw the stronger birtish girls above me and also italian Marta Megetti. finished 4th, in 1st was brit Saskia Sills, 2nd Imogen (imi) Sills(brit) , 3rd Marta Megetti and jus below me and 5th (4th brit) Noelle Finch. I was really pleased with my result and it was a fantastic event and even better that my first worlds were at Weymouth. UNfortunately I cant go to the euros in Cadiz because of flight costs etc. but I will be goin to france for the worlds next year and will be lookin for 1st!!

T-15 Coverham

Lots of good wind which is good for me. It was the last t-15 of the year and it was looking good for our team North Lincs Invaders. Just before the first race I had a kit failure. I was pumping and my outhaul cleet slipd to the end of my boom while I was pumping so I had to go in and get it fixed. By the time I had got it fixed and made my way to the start boat everyone had set off so I pumped after them. By the time we had got to the 2nd bouy I had gone from last to 3rd!!. Overall I was 2nd, Robert York from Covernham Cyclones was 3rd and team mate Max Bushell was 1st.At the end of the event when all the teams scores were anounced. WE were 1st not only did w win that event but we had won the series. Max Bushell went up to collest the trophy (as hewas captain for that event) he also had to make a speech. Then the senior boy and girl went up for the series (me and Max) luckily head coach Simon Seal went up for that.

Training at North Lincs 30th May

Me, Max Bushell and Luke Raistrick windsurfing at North Lincs! Having a go on shortboards and doing tandoms!!!

Eric Twiname 9th+10th May

After a busy winter the zone training had nearly come to an end and it was the yearly Eric Twiname. I wasn't as nervous a i was last year because it was my first time but i still wanted to do well! On the first day there was lots of wind (good for me) so i hoped i would get some good races.

By the end of the first day I was first 6.8 girl and 1st overall!! but only by 1 point because team mate Max Bushell was hot on my heels. Lukily for me there was no racing on Sunday otherwise Max might have taken the lead.So there was an early prize giving meaning i was 1st 6.8 girl and better still I had beaten all the boys and come 1st overall aswell!! My younger sister came 1st 4.5 girl and 2nd overall which is alot better than i did when i was only 10 years old !!!!!!!
