Then came the moment of truth, there is no going back no more evidence for the sisters Lucia and Fatima Reyes.
The two sailors have set sail from Cartagena to the German city of Boltenhagen, first of two qualifying events with the Sail for Gold in England for a ticket, only one, for the 2012 London Olympics in the Laser Radial class.
The first of the pitfalls for both the hard road trip from Cartagena, spending about three days, so it will have little time to learn the race course.
A pitch that has some complications, including the continuing roles of wind, according to the information they work with in recent days.
Both Lucia and Fatima have worked hard in recent days, after the French appointment Hya ¨ res in which Lucia concluded ranked twenty-six, with a best finish sixth part in the nine races held, while Fatima was in the thirty-two, with a tenth in the seventh round.
They have also had some time to unwind in Cartagena and mentally prepare for these two major events coming to both very excited and ready. We since January with a work plan, prepared by Marina Gallego, very hard.
We are aware that the results of some tests are not the best, or those who expected some, but we said that our main goal was none other than polish and better details, not the results, says Lucia.
Along these lines, Fatima, in the wake of his sister, is very sincere when he says it's time to show what we can do, but it's something we have taught them all in many regattas, our level and preparation, and know to always be present and fair play, adding that what we do is sport, and there is always one side and a cross, resulting in that sometimes you win and other lose, is the dogma of the sport and always must know how to fit the victory and defeat.
The sailors Boltenhagen Cartagena has five days of severe trials, two per day, without Medal Race. Start the day 15, the first battle, while the latter is the day 20.
Lucia and Fatima know how much they play and the pressure or not I can take its toll. Traveled calm, knowing what awaits us, we were ready.
Upon arrival at Boltenhagen want to leave the race course and learn a little more of it, now we hear it's quite complicated, as always or almost always plenty of wind roles (changes direction), said Lucia; while his sister Fatima stresses that we must be very regular, this may be one of the keys that can lead to success, but we must be vigilant and be ready when it will avoid a BFD (black flag-removal test) or any OCS (not to be penalized in the output) and other situations or actions.
