Bad Blogger!
SO I am a bad blogger I will admit it,I have been traveling so much and most places I am at either dont have internet,or I am just super busy. But here is the short story. After the West coast championships I had so much fun racing and needed more points to hold my 1st place ranking in the US so I went to Rat Race, I just couldnt stay away. We had another great competition, I was doing awesome until the 3d tsk I basically got last place on the day, I launched into a huge mob of pilots and after a few close calls I headed out front to get a thermal there, there was no thermal there so after ridge soaring for an hour I finally made a mad dash for burnt ridge and sunk out =( I was really hard on myself that day as I watched the whole race unfold in front of me and I couldnt be apart of it.I dropped from 3d to 10th. I was thinking about taking up another hobby (maybe basket weaving) but decided I had to prove to myself I can fly paragliders,so on the next day I put that all behind me and had an awesome race where I got a good lead on the whole gaggle and ended up winning the day=) a 1000 point day and the only 1000 pointer of the comp. Its been awhile since I have gotten a 1000 and it felt great so I went from 10th to 6th clawing my way back up we had one task to go and my goal was to make the podium I knew winning was nt an option now, so on the last task I flew smart and got a 3d place which jumped me to 2nd overall on the comp. =) yee haw! I got a nice trophy after all and am really stoked. Now acro Andy, Kevin Howzie and I are heading up to Chelan for the biggest comp of the year the website is www.chelanxcopen.com so if you want to follow the race you can. Blue Skies
