Tollesbury toil & triumph

The GP14 Southen Travellers meeting at Tollesbury was an object lesson in getting some things right and some things drastically wrong. 

For the Nationals, the aim is to keep the former, and fix the latter. 

The first race, we were so busy planning our first beat strategy that we missed the gun, and must have crossed the line last, ending up 9th out of 15, just behind Lesley Kay. 

The second race, we had a blinding start, led for the first lap and ended up 3rd - highest position ever in an Open event. 

The third race was a reasonable start, but a tactical error at the first mark meant that we were at the back of the fleet, ending up 11th. 

As always -  potential. But need to be consistent.
