Hello Race Fans
It has been a few weeks since you have heard from us. Since our return from France (49er FX World Championship), Anna and I have been keeping ourselves fairly busy at home.

Life has been semi calm since the last blog. I've been able to spend some weeks at home helping coach at the new CrossFit box here in Mt. Lebanon (CrossFit Mt Lebanon). The days are long and busy, but it's always fun helping someone accomplish a goal, whether big or small.

Yesterday was my first competition back in CrossFit after the CrossFit Games this past summer and it was successful event. I came home with the overall win at the 2013 Fall Brawl hosted by Raw Training.

Apologies for the delayed blog, but it was a busy evening after some exciting racing yesterday when we came back to finish 2nd overall in an intense last three races of the Extreme Sailing Series Act 7 in Nice, France. After starting the day quite badly, we rallied in the end to get two race wins before the final double points race where it came down to a who beat whom race between us and Team Red Bull for the second spot on the podium.

It was a much slower paced day for everyone today at the Extreme Sailing Series Act 7 in Nice. After the storms rolled through last night, we sailed out in lighter winds but ominous looking clouds. The clouds stayed ashore thankfully, and did us a favour by keeping the wind on the course by sucking it in. We fired off eight races as the breeze got lighter and lighter and trickier and trickier. Unfortunately for us, our day started off great with a 3,2,2,4,4. But then it ended up going not so great and we finished the day with a 8,3,8. We are still in second overall, but after the great start and early climb up the leaderboard closer to The Wave, Muscat (the overall leaders), we fell off pace a little and lost all the valuable points and more.
