I have read that going into a major event with a clear mind is helpful - top golfers don't practice in the leadup to a major, they do stuff like clean the shed, mow the grass - well .... that's what I am doing today - mind, at 3 weeks before departure, some of this stuff is just routine anyway, and not really part of the preparation.
Another task I had forgottten about is to print out my Spirit of Tasmania itinerary whch is on my old computer! Maybe I need to make a list.
I have already turned my desk calendar to December ... and it is full of work and study commitments. Regardless, I have quarantined 5-6 Dec for a trip to Lake Cootharaba - my task that weekend is for a 'dry run' short trip, focus on getting comfortable quickly in the boat, and working on starting technique (I think this is now my main area of weakness).
Over the last two years my strategy has been to focus on my weaknesses - so I started with boat handling, then fitness - this is why I have stayed with 1505 - I won't upgrade the boat until I feel that is my biggest weakness. The only equipment updates to the boat are a new centreboard which is about to arrive from Martin Sly, and a small amount of shape added to the mainsail in a drop seam that I did as part of repair to the foot.
Long post - must be delaying getting into these jobs :-)
