Nice find Gareth.
Going fast seems to be about being in the right place at the right time with the right gear and getting the right gust....right?

Oh, and please don't wear your GPS inside your wetsuit. That is asking for trouble, a lot of errors and invalid runs.

I read a very nice bit of philosophy the other day: Luck is when preparation meets oppurtunity.
My version: Speed is when preparation meets oppurtunity.
