Sussex Classic.
This was definitely a tough one, this time because the wind was actually quite strong, and because it's a triangular race course, a third of it was into the wind. The most frustrating thing was that on the downwind part, the turn came up just as the waves got good!
It was an amazing event, and definitely great fun (especially in retrospect : D )
Happy to come second in the women's race (and 20th overall).
I was lucky enough to stay with my friend Nigel, so I had a very comfy bed, a very calm weekend around the race, and lots of lovely conversations (including some over a fantastic dinner with Nigel Watson and Alan Hunter ).
Paddled with Nick Hib and Karl on the Sunday -- always such a lovely change from paddling by myself a lot.
See you next year!
