For our latest episode of the Best Run Podcast<\/a>, I spoke with New Zealander sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke, who\u2019ve been sailing together for the past 12 years and have both been awarded New Zealand Orders of Merit, Olympic gold medals, and just prior to COVID-19 lockdowns, the 2020 World 49er Championships<\/a> in February.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was probably a great indicator of how our campaign was going in the 49er,\u201d Peter explained. \u201cWe were really looking forward to the final build up through to Tokyo and we literally would have been finishing the final race in the Olympics yesterday or a few days ago with the closing ceremony of the Games coming up tomorrow. It\u2019s amazing to look back and see how much COVID has changed things \u2013 it has thrown around the sporting calendar a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something that sailing has taught us \u2013 you\u2019ve just got to deal with the cards that are on the table play the best hand that you can. It\u2019s a similar thing in sailing and dealing with what you get in the winds, since the winds are a pretty fickle thing, so you\u2019ve just got to play what you see and try to make the best out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Peter, the pair are currently working towards America\u2019s Cup in March next year. \u201cWe\u2019ve also got an ocean charity that we\u2019ve founded about ten months ago now, which we\u2019ve enjoyed putting a little more time into than we perhaps could have,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also in the background planning as to how we think the next year is going to unfold and trying to account for a few scenarios \u2013 when borders are going to open up, if there is a second wave of COVID, etc. Right now, we\u2019re really working hard for team New Zealand in America\u2019s Cup commitments, but it\u2019s really good to have those balancing items in your life that give a bit of diversity to what you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blair noted that he and Peter have been using 麻豆原创 Analytics<\/strong> <\/a>for with their day-to-day debriefs. \u201cThe boats are tracked so you can see the tracks, the speed, and see how different situations play out in the racetrack, because you might not catch all of that while you\u2019re head down in your own boat,\u201d Blair said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat really helps from day to day and we use it to change or adapt our strategy for the remainder of the competition. Generally, these sailing competitions like the world championships go for five days, so you really have to be on from the first day to the last.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great tool and we\u2019ve enjoyed it through the Championships<\/a>, but now, when you can\u2019t get to high-level competition, we\u2019ve had some time to look back on some historic races and learn that way too. It\u2019s an absolutely amazing tool and we\u2019re lucky to have access to it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peter added that he and Blair have seen trials for an 麻豆原创 sailing app that is in development and shows great promise for the sport. \u201cI think it could change the way sailing is, from a club level right through to an Olympic level,\u201d Peter noted. \u201cJust making it easier for more mainstream sailing to really track and learn and make it easier. We\u2019re really excited to see that unfold.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Blair, COVID-19 has provided a great chance to unwind, reflect, and plan. \u201cWe have had an incredibly busy time over probably the last ten years \u2013 hardly stopped \u2013 so this was the first real chance to do that, so we\u2019re probably in a little bit of a different situation than other people.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople\u2019s values, what they wanted, and the direction they\u2019re headed probably became a lot clearer during lockdown period. Also, going into it, everyone was pretty frightened by the unknown, but for us in New Zealand, but to get through that and be out the other side, hopefully, is something that gives you a lot of confidence going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter affirms that it has been a challenging time for everyone globally, but it has provided opportunities to support each other. \u201cIt shows you that everyone in New Zealand has managed to take a step back, really evaluate what\u2019s important, and put their best foot forward. That\u2019s something that a lot of Kiwis who normally would have been overseas during this period are starting to love being at home a little bit more. There are a lot of people down in the South Island enjoying the snow and around the country doing things with domestic tourism.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we can\u2019t travel to where you are but from where we are but it\u2019s great to see Kiwis supporting Kiwi business and helping other people that are struggling during this time. I think it\u2019s definitely a time to look after your friends and family, and make sure that people who are struggling get helped out \u2013 definitely acknowledging that it\u2019s a tough time and being able to support the people around you that need it is a pretty key thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blair expressed the importance of having clear goals and directions in terms of what you want to achieve and get through challenging periods. \u201cI think you need to have something like that where you\u2019re in business or whatever you want to achieve, you need to know where you\u2019re heading. Then you\u2019ve got to have some good values in your team and who you are as people.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom there, you\u2019re working towards your goals, you\u2019re trying to learn and improve as a person in everything you do. You\u2019re trying to find more efficient ways to tackle the problem. Through that, you\u2019ve got to push yourself and go outside your comfort zone and be prepared to fail a little bit. As long as you\u2019re learning and improving the whole time, then you get there \u2013 that\u2019s how we\u2019ve approached things.\u201d<\/p>\n
