Rdutch 0 #1 March 31, 2003 14 jumps today, all by 2:30pm 4 jumps yesterday all from 3500ft (filming 4way) and 7 the day before, and were booked on every load until friday. Man who ever thought that skydiving could be this tiring. Ive done many 10 a day camp's but the Norgies take the cake when it come's to training, no Oh well we cant get 10'500 lets go home, its we can get 3500 kewl lets do exit's. Hey but Im getting some killer training for the next swoop meet, except today when it was about 20mph all day. Oh well tired of ranting, im off to bed. Just had to tell someone that would understand, I told my brother, and he said om well I actually worked today you just played. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Besure you're drinking a lot of water, that'll help with soreness, etc. Besure to stretch in the morning and continue to stretch throughout the day, taking advil is good for soreness, too. Good luck!

dreamsville 0 #4 March 31, 2003 Well, you've got me beat and many others, I'm sure. Anyway, I was a bit hung over before doing MSL four-way video practice on a Saturday. We had 8 jumps and then I drove to another DZ and did two night jumps after supper (had to wait for beer!), not cracking the first beer until 11pm. Then I drank part of a diet Coke and could hardly sleep. We did it again the next day, and I was grateful that they called it after 7 jumps on Sunday. For me that was a lot, although I know others train for more. Same thing happened before last year's first MSL meet, when it was miserable and cold at altitude. Lots of water, with some Gatorade for minerals and a good but not heavy lunch helped a lot. Tired during skydiving is just plane () tired. Get some rest. I'll shove a beer through the computer (keyboard shorts out). | I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane.

Deuce 1 #5 March 31, 2003 Ray, are you using a packer? I'm thinking you gotta be. God, just exits and landings? Argh. The tension of the exit shot is huge. Then you get to settle down a little bit in your slot and keep steepness and proximity, but it's nothing compared to flying an exit. Especially with a kick-ass team. So to just do an exit, and then break-off and deploy, yeah, tough day. And don't try to party with those folks. Something about them being REAL vikings.

Then (thanks kurt) the shamrock showdown turns out to be a 10 round meet, luckily the weather kept it fun, about 8.5 rounds (time ran out) filming 2.5 team's, dubbing, (Thanks for the organization, all you that went to Nationals know when its not organized what it's like) and Oh yeah, I packed since the hour before a jump rule and I had about 15 min, to spare each hour. And Im cheap. Luckily today we had clear skie's so we went to the top, but yesteray was hectic, Props to the packers, could you imagine packing for a team that is going to 3500' back to back to back, in a -34 porter. I thought I had it bad. Also to add Porter's suck for 4way, specially with 10 people in them, and the step sux. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

dreamsville 0 #7 April 1, 2003 I've only jumped a Porter 3 times (usually Otters), and 10 seems full, and the door is low. However, I'd do it if I had to. Has your brother jumped? |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane.
