Black Friday, pfffff, just go sail you paranoid twats
, at worst it was more of a Freaky Friday. The Rainbow with the Slowie's 50k pot of gold appeared a few times, firstly halfway down the course and later on the east bank, just not at the end of the run
.
My fastest run of the day felt the slowest, it was in the bigger 35' squall with rain, hail & sand belting me hard in the right eye. I had to close it and couldn't see much further than 40-50ft with left eye, it felt too sketchy with my vision/balance impaired so sheeted out a little and went survival mode, all was feeling neutral and slow. Pulled up and and had a ~45.5pk and ~44.4 10sec Freaky!!! Adrian who went moments earlier in the squall noted a similiar experience, felt slow yet fast. We were literally sucked along without having to fight or lean back into it.
So maybe those hailstones floating in the water reduce friction???
My 10 sec avg calc' from restore off Navi is around 42.6 so not enough to knock Foxy off 10th posn'
. Have to wait till I download for more detail...
