Session 208. Cesar and I linked up to do a training run for the upcoming Across the Bay to Conquer Cancer. The 20 knot southerly was a welcome relief from yesterday's 40C!
We met at Hampton at about 2:30 and did a fast run down to Port Melbourne. This was mostly one long downwind tack although I did go toeside a couple of times briefly. We had a brief chat at the Port Melbourne beach and decided to try going back upwind.
Cesar was going upwind well on his surfboard but my Sector 60 was definitely a bit better. We did a couple of tacks out past Princess Pier then a long run up to Elwood, followed by some shorter tacks to Brighton, then past Green Point and back to Hampton.
As I got tired, the gybe turns were harder. Its important to keep some speed up through the turns, and to switch feet in a positive one-two movement.
We were happy to finish, and I was quite depleted.
