<div>Back when I was "in the hunt" I would practice like crazy up until the Wednesday before a contest. I did not even fly a practice flight when arriving at a contest.

The result was ugly...real ugly.</DIV> <DIV>"What's this"? I'm thinking. So, I break away and fly the outside loop again.</DIV> <DIV>This one's worse.</DIV> <DIV>"Holy s..."! What's happening to me, I must have the palsy.</DIV> <DIV>How embarrassing!</DIV> <DIV>For the next three days I struggle to analyze what I'm doing wrong.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think I have it worked out now, but
it's not the same anymore.</DIV> <DIV>Now, as I approach the sixth maneuver I get bad vibes and a case of <EM>rectal puckeruptus</EM>.</DIV> <DIV>The outside loop isn't easy anymore...I have to really concentrate to not screw it up.</DIV> <DIV>Hope the other 18 maneuvers don't self destruct.</DIV></DIV> <DIV id=AOLMsgPart_4_5c9a5345-46f8-4748-935e-b7e763076339 style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff"><PRE style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><TT>_______________________________________________ NSRCA-discussion mailing list <A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A> <A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target=_blank>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A> </TT></PRE></DIV> <DIV class=AOLPromoFooter> <HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px"> Email and AIM finally together.
