I never hesitated over letting him go. If it's a dream they've got, you've got to let them go.

There's a victory in letting go of your expectations.

Why let go of yesterday? Because yesterday has already let go of you.

We need to stop letting things like that bother us. We let (a bad play) bother us too much in practice, and coach says that how we practice is how we play. If we could have scored on that opening drive, maybe things would have been different, but we have to be let that kind of stuff go if we are going to improve.

Certainly we've had some stints where we averaged over 25 knots for an hour, and then you're up to the 600-mile day scenario. A lot of the guys here were the first to do 500 miles, and it would be nice to get the 600 but as always we're here to win points. We keep reminding ourselves that we don't need to win this leg where perhaps other boats do, and so we mustn't allow ourselves to be pressured into pushing the boat too hard.
