Over the last two years I went with the idea that you can only control some elements in competition. One can plan a flight and still end up on a ridge while others fly high above on speed into goal. Pre 07 this happed on a regular basis so my target was to work on a personal development program that looked a my own health, fitness, and future goals. Last year I was placed 14th and have pumped up the volume on my training program to shoot for a spot in the top 10. I now have more energy to stay allert, get climbs, allowing me stay high and fly fast......Its also great to have my mom here as she is my best support person!!!
During a race to goal last year two masses of lift came in at the same spot mid task and I found myself in a very strong climb shooting up under this mother of clouds....And this huge wedgetail hawk came diving at me; looking back he was so mad and tried to get my wing with his talons:) Just before he was about to hit I pulled on the breaks hard and he impacted the fabric but did not have his sharp talons out. He then pulled up beside me and gave me this look i will not forget...wow!!!!
