New Horizons

It is with great excitement that I write this post, for while it means the end of Lihan Sailing by its lonesome, it is the beginning of a new chapter in my sailing career. I am switching classes, from the Radial to the front of a 470. Many have thought I should have made this switch ages ago, but it took the likes of Amanda Clark, 2008 US Olympic representative to finally bring me over to the dark side. In the few weeks since the conclusion of Miami OCR, we have spent all but a handful of days on the water together, training hard to figure out what exactly a twing is and why precisely my feet have to go in this bay rather than the other.  It’s been an incredible ride so far–if you ignore all the bruises, at least–and I’m looking forward to the next couple weeks of training before our first event, the World Cup event in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, which begins on April 2.

Please continue to follow me as I travel this exciting, new, if not slightly bumpier road to the 2012 Games.   I am proud to join Team GOSAIL!!
