The weekend: HTT #3, sailing race

So I was supposed to be in a two day sailing race this weekend. Race 1 on Saturday was from Waikiki to the Diamond Head Buoy and back to Ko'olina. Race 2 on Sunday was from Ko'olina back to the Waikiki Yacht Club (sans DH buoy). I crewed race 1, and we came in second (I think).

The race went well except in the last 15 minutes I made a real boneheaded move and released the cleat to the spinnaker without having wrapped the sheet around the winch. I missed day 2 due to rope burn across the fingers on my left hand. Fortunately, no harm was done race-wise, and the damage isn't too bad to my fingers. I will never make that mistake again. I understand the boat came in third for day two and third overall.

Because of the race, I cut my Saturday training short so I only got the swim in before I had to go. Because of the puffy fingers, I can't apply the breaks on my bike, so I also missed Monday's bike workout . Fortunately, tomorrow's workout is a run and swim, so I should be ok for that.
