I was sitting in my office in Wallingford, CT every day last week, trying to get some work done. But when our team is competing at an event, it's really hard for me to concentrate on anything else. We're in the home stretch now, our Olympic Team Selection is underway, and every event matters. And, it's a lot easier to follow the action from afar now than it ever has been before.

Our team's efforts to connect with you through blog posts, Facebook, Twitter and our website are better than ever. We're bringing you video clips, just-stepped-off-the-boat audio interviews, photos, up-to-the-minute results and updates... it's great to see. Over the next 16 months we'll be doing even more to bring the action straight to you as we gear up for the Games in 2012.

In Palma we had five top-6 finishes, which shows really good improvement. This was the toughest competition that we have met so far, this year. All of the world's top sailors were there and being able to post results like that is a great sign of our progress. We still have 16 months until we look to see our sailors on the podium in Weymouth and clearly there is some work to be done.

On the final day of racing at Princess Sofia Trophy, the third stop on the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) Sailing World Cup 2010-2011 series, US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics won two medals, gold and bronze, in Women's Match Racing. Strong finishes in the medal races included a second place in the Finn and Women's 470.

With the transom of their 470 labeled "Unfinished Business," Erin Maxwell and Isabelle Kinsolving Farrar are clear on their goals for the ISAF Sailing World Cup circuit and, in particular, their quest for a 2012 Olympic berth. At last week's Princess Sofia Trophy in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, the 2008 World Champions finished 5th overall, with a notable second-place in the final medal race.

Spring is here and with it the Eurolymp regattas! Team GO SAIL, Amanda Clark and Sarah Lihan, has just completed our journey from Palma de Mallorca, Spain to La Seyne Sur Mer, on the southern coast of France near Toulon, where we will compete in our next event, the 470 Spring Cup, held from April 14-18.

March is Spring Training season for more than 75 members of the US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics and the US Sailing Development Team who were put through the paces of physical fitness testing during two training camps this month.
