Josh Tarling:
"It was hard, I felt weaker today than I did at the worlds. and the wind was really hard. Originally it was a lot of over and under with the crosswinds, but it changed to a more steady cross(wind) both ways and no tail or head wind. It was more about holding that high power all day. It was really hard."
