High Energy . . .

. . .good breeze for the invitational race. Our day began with the boys getting their AM physiotherapy sessions with massage. The hydration factor was good, they could have eaten more, however if one could had witness the scene pre-race . . .intense energy. . . the fact they ate at all kept me happy. Though full credit goes to our chef who literally "hand fed" the guys as they rigged up the boat . . .in a bikini!! Ha ha . . .good times for Team Aeon in Sydney!

We had a nice day of sailing yesterday, though two capsizes made for a deeper than preferred finish, the cause of capsize and quick recovery had the boys returning in very good spirits. Their preparation definitely gave them the readiness needed to pick up and get back into the game and work back up into the fleet. They were also greeted with two bikini clad gals who fed them orange slices! One can not treat the physical alone. . .it's a mental game out there and the team agreed having the training, being well fed, hydrated and happy joints and muscles made for a great day.

Our plan . . . to make the above an everyday occurnace minus the capsizing (smile). The story continues today . . .
