Practice Regiment

Once I learn the manouvers I fly the whole sequence because you get consistant practice on position and wings level and entry speed. Of course you learn the box also. If any of these are off you can get messed up for at least 2 manouvers. If I am practicing for a local contest, 4 flights in one session is all my brain can stand. This gets me used to 3-4 flights on Sat. and 2 flights on Sunday. When the Nats get closer I only practice 2 flights per session,because that's all your going to get there(2 flights per day).I flew hard one year maybe 5-6 flights per session and found out that when I got to the Nats,I couldn't get started in 2 flights.Must be a mind thing.
Anyway more food for discussion.

> Ok, the list is far too quiet so it's time to stir the pot....actually I'm looking for advice. Although practice makes perfect, he who burns the most fuel wins...etc, realistically what you all of you do to get the most from your practice sessions ??? Especially those that have a 24/7 lives and are at times lucky to get to the field once a week ?? My personal situation the last few years is unfortunately fly very little, get to the contest a day early, get a few flights in ( complete sequence in both directions ) and then do my best during competition. Got lucky and did well up through Advanced but that sure isn't going to cut it in Masters, especially in District 1. I was toying with breaking the sequence up in half or thirds to practice or ?? I'm listening...Ed M.
