End Of Watch with Team Malizia
End of Watch Episode 4 "Mindset"
Team Malizia brings you “End of Watch” starring Boris Herrmann and Rosalin Kuiper guest starring Antoine Auriol
Episode four - Mindset- stars Boris Herrmann and Rosalin Kuiper from Leg 3 of the Southern Ocean during The Ocean Race 2023.
Listen along as Boris Herrmann and Rosalin Kuiper overlap on their watch on day 14 of leg 3 The Ocean Race. They are further from civilisation that almost any other human and they let us in to their private conversations, hopes fears, the highs and lows.
The pair start with their jingle and then ask what other people are doing around the world in the team and where they are at the moment. Then they discuss their essential equipment like eye masks and earpods.
They talk about music tastes, the position in the race over taking Biotherm and 11th Hour and how Antoine is very happy for them to have moved out of 4th place, they need to be at least 3rd to keep him happy. Special guest Antoine Auriol is talking about flying the drone and his happiness level. The first thing Antoine will want to do in Itajai is to lay on the dock and then Caipirinha with the team.
They discuss that Will is the one pushing them for performance but they are always a bit scared of the line between performance and breaking the boat. They both agree that they have to push in order to be 2nd.
They discuss that after this line it will decompress a bit but until the first finish line they will check the boat. How do you actually feel on the boat they ask - Sometimes in a bubble and don’t talk so much but yesterday Antoine and Boris took half an hour to chat. Antoine describes it as a "Small suffering" - with the boat you have to hang on and be patient. Normally I play. I don’t suffer but here it is a different I can't play but it is a good mental training - it is all about Mindset.
On the boat they lack a bit of light - the windows are covered in fog. Boris doesn't think further ahead but thinks in terms of the next 4 hours each time. Breaking Time into sections.
They then discuss the ice limit and how this is moving.
They finish by discussing their favourite things:
- The new book - coming soon
- Devold jumper
- Musto water proof socks
- Kuehne and Nagel and how one of them called from dinner last night.
