So glad I got to come back to Eurochallenge this year. I absolutely loved the conditions (racing 22k from Villajoyosa to Altea again): side-chop out to the island, an awesome downwind along the coast and a 2.5k sprint to the finish. Happy with my 10th place in a strong (if small) women's field!
Could feel Jonnie's coaching making a difference throughout, especially on the bigger waves and the final sprint : )
A Sunday highlight was getting to talk race strategy and being coached by Cory Hill in the morning before the sprint/SLS race (where I finished 7th). Some great advice, I think I figured out an important aspect of linking waves. Now I need more practice. Thank you!
So grateful for Carly 's company during the week! So many laughs, great conversations and meals shared as well as some lovely paddles and getting an incredible amount of work for Hillfire Press done (pre-orders open, online and live events imminent!). Couldn't have done it without you, stoked to catch some waves with you, and can't wait for the world to see your story in print.
All this was possible because the Eurochallenge team put on a fantastic event again, and because Alan drove our boats and kit all the way to the south of Spain and looked after us at the event (not to mention keeping me on the water while my own boat is travelling). Thanks, Alan!
