FlyinBarker

Yup I’ve got everything packed up…In the car already.  We’re leaving tomorrow morning and the dogs are already not happy.  I am really excited  about this trip as it is my first competition.  Granted it is geared more towards teaching competition techniques and has a different format than other competitions, it is still a competition.  I’m looking forward to a great week of flying, learning, and meeting new friends.  Honestly, I’m a bit nervous too.  I want to do well, by my own standards.  I want to make the goal set for the day but I also realize that learning requires making mistakes.  I love that about this sport.  You can look back on a day when you bombed out while everybody else was at cloudbase and almost always pinpoint the decision that decked you.   I just hope I learn fast!!

The weather is looking pretty good for the week at this point and I can’t wait to get in the air!!

What’s that lying on my harness???  Is it…oh yes it is!!  Allman Brothers and Widespread Panic tickets for the day after the comp!!  I can’t think a much better way to wrap the week up.  I think I’m gonna have HAPPY FEET!
