So I got to the beach to see the waves had dropped a little bit. Needless to say, there was still plenty of waves to go around. In the quarter I had a pretty tough heat but ended up getting second. That meant I had to surf in repo. After a quick snack of an apple and some water, I was re-energized and ready to go. I ended up getting second in that heat as well. I made the final. I was setting myself up to reach my goal. Some more fruit and water fueled my body with natural sugars and energy. When it was time for the final, I just relaxed and took in the moment. I wanted to have fun. Long story short, the guy who won had the whole field comboed in the first 5 mins, and I was the only person to get out of the combo situation. I was in second when the hooter rang. first loser.
