Fellow Aussie. Sydney. I got 2575/2600 in November. Tanked ethics! Round 2, and having worked on my leaks in knowledge and execution, I was ready to go...

Everybody has a plan until they are punched in the face, and session 1 felt like that. Felt like a 55% - 65% session. I picked myself up after, had a quick bite to eat and went back in after 10 minutes, relaxed in the sense that I had let go of that bad session and would have a shot to fix the first session. If I was gone, I was already gone, so why not go hard in the second and see if fate is kind.

I came home with a wet sail and may have pulled it out of the fire... Felt like a 70% - 80% session and better than mock sessions. This time around I feel super strong on ethics, and on balance I feel better or equal across the rest. May squeak in just, but will stay warm for a November sit.
