For Laser helmsman Philipp Buhl from the Alpsee-Immenstadt sailing club, the third day of the regatta will also follow a precisely defined schedule today. The 26-year-old from Sonthofen has developed a daily schedule for his Rio race that is repeated every day. With fixed times for recurring tasks and activities, Buhl wants to create the preparation, routine and calm that will allow him to start his races in the best possible way. Buhl has written down his daily routine for YACHT online. We have added some additional information.
