Where I sort managed to walk the fine line more or less perfectly in Amsterdam, I basically just fell of it today.

1000 things I can think of were not right…but I guess it all came down to having rowed a bit to hard in the morning and still feeling the traces of it in my legs during the very important afternoon race. It felt that I had more controll and that I did not have to mentally race hard this morning, but the pain in my legs after 1500mtrs were not good. I felt that major pain in my but after finish making it very uncomfortable to sit on that damn piece of carbon fibre. That was a clear signal of not good.

Though not feeling super strong for the quarter final I anyway managed to push myself rather hard. I was pleased with that. But the downside was I guess that, even though I was working hard, I was not going fast. At 1500mtr I was were I wanted to be. Just a lenght down on no.3. I guy I thought I could beat. But I had no power at all left for that super sprint. I wanted to, but I could not make myself do it. Extremely dissapointed I gave up trying an just continued that damn race in 30. You are actually amazed about the thoughts that imediatly pop up in your head. I’ll keep em for myself.

So 4th place, and ready to row the C final tomorrow. Everything to win there! But I am not a happy sailor at the moment. Just dont understand why I’m getting so damn tired.

Catch you tomorrow!
