The many trainingssessions are paying off, already my 5th 80+ average this month! I started early as the forecast was increasing wind, but i expected the nucleair conditions were it was impossible to go really fast. Was the first to hit the water and had a good session and goods speeds already (79 average). Did also 2 nauticals of 74,7 in the morning sessions!The wind was increasing and it was to much and not fast anymore, so everybody came off the water.After 1 or 2 hours of waiting I thought the wind was a bit less so went on the water again.The others followed directly and we had a perfect afternoon of speedsurfing.Hans told me Dirk did a nautical of 77 so we had to go for it again.There were gusts, many windsurfers, fishermans etc so it was a gamble to get it right all the 1852 meters or not. I was happy with a run of 80,2 and a 60 seconds of 77,4 in my new nautical mile record of 76,4. Compared to the fastest nm ever this made me a winner but compared to Dirk's mile i'm the first loser.Very well done Dirk, will be hard to improve this. But we try this tomorrow offcourse.At least we have a better nm average for the team challenge.
