Sidelined; Time to Reflect
Boat preparation, on-water training, physical conditioning, tune-up events, sports psychology; all are important keys to success in this Olympic Sailing game. Health of the crew, however, can trump all. Trevor has been fighting an illness since the first day of the event. After fighting through the first four days of racing, he had nothing left in his tank. The bronchitis (as diagnosed by his Polish doctor) finally took its toll and kept us from getting on the water. We missed three light air races, giving us some time to reflect on the past month we’ve spent in Europe.

We have made some huge strides in our time here. We’ve won races, posted consistent scores in most, and avoided big mistakes, for the most part. Eighteen months into this campaign, we have narrowed down our to-do list immensely. We are scheduling our next year of training right now, and while we have plenty to do, our goal of qualifying for and medaling in the 2012 Olympics is a definitively surmountable task.
Of course, we need to stay healthy. With my injury in Palma and Trevor’s illness here, our short campaign has had plenty of experience with unexpected setbacks. We will continue to work out, travel, sail virtually nonstop, and take rest when necessary. It is a delicate balance we must find. If we overwork ourselves, we may get injured, sick, or mentally exhausted. If we don’t train enough or effectively, we will be left behind the curve. The 49er fleet, as all Olympic classes, is advancing at a tremendous rate. The level continues to rise, and we must rise along with it and then some to get to where we want to be.
There is one more race scheduled for Gold Fleet before the medal race. We will see how Trevor feels. Whether we sail or not, this trip and regatta has been successful. We have made some great headway, and we cannot wait for the Sail for Gold Regatta in Weymouth in August.
Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement.
