Post mortem

Not sure where to start on this one - I could put the emphasis on my lousy performance in the last two races - but somehow that is niaive of me - I really should have dome better in every race - the sequence of races should not affect my analysis - unless it is a review of fitness/stamina alone.

Areas of improvement:
- finished all races (although the abandoned race would have been a DNC if not abandoned)
- overall stamina and general strength
- gybing (up to fresh wind strength)
- use of compass (but not sifficiently to improve performance)

Weaknesses:
- aggressive hiking in fresh conditions
- boatspeed (linked to above)
- fleet tactics; maintaining / improving position
- boat maintenance
- capsize recovery in windy conditions

Now how the hell am I to improve on those weaknesses ....
