It has been more than 12 months since my surgery and I was excited to try again my big sail in this cold and powerful Amihan wind. This season is windy and I was excited to sail again.
Feeling my renewed strength, I rigged my 8.2 sail and headed out.
The wind was at 18-20 knots gusting up to 25. I used to have no problem handling this before but today, I wasn't feeling that well. I had a hard time hooking up and footstrapping. I fell a couple of times and it was so difficult uphauling or waterstarting. I guess I have to be back to square one to have that "feel for the water and the wind" again.
After 5 or so times beam reaching, my arms were sore and my legs were tired.
And the most difficult revelation: I seem to not enjoy windsurfing that much anymore. Hence, the sport will be at the bottom of my priority list for the time being. I know it is temporary but I seem to like triathlon (that finding the perfect balance training for swimming, cycling and running) more. :-(
