Update, Day 4: both Irish boats hold steady in Gold fleet at the Olympic qualifier in Lanzarote. A dramatic opening day of Gold fleet racing saw Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove Team Dickson Waddilove 49er Ireland hold on to their third overall place in their quest to qualify Ireland for Tokyo 2021 with a third place followed by an impressive race win. In a repeat of Tuesday’s form, the pair were heading for a third top three result but were again disqualified for being fractionally over the line at the start. Ryan Seaton and Séafra Guilfoyle Out2Win Ryan & Séafra had a 13-11-14, and held onto 10th position. Ireland remains under threat from Italian boats in 12th, 15th and 16th places while Belgium hold 14th place. Thursdays’ Gold fleet series again features three races each day before a single fleet race on Friday to decide the top ten boats for the medal race final. “Gold fleet racing is full of swings and roundabouts and nothing can be taken as assured until the final race ends,” commented James O’Callaghan, Irish Sailing’s Performance Director. “As predicted at the start of the week, this series is going to go down to the wire on Friday.”

Cyclist doored on Market near Montgomery BART this morning just after 8:00 am, when a rear passenger suddenly got out at a red light. Unfortunately, my RideEye doesn't capture details at distance--or any time I hit a bump--so you can't really see it happen. Rider said she's ok.
