Running Log :: Canada day and Skydive

Well what a Canada day, seem to have done it all. Started out waking up on a couch in the clubhouse at the DZ (Drop Zone). No blankes, no pillow and the couch smelled very used, YIKES! Dragged my slightly hung over ass off the couch and into some running gear for a 6 mile run. Ran down to Morgans Point right to the water and back to the DZ and past as I had to reach 6 miles so spent a bit of it on the Friendship Trail. The run started out very rough, everything hurt. I later learned it was only supposed to be 5 miles and I did six. That was like yesterday with my 6 mile run that should have been 3. I’ll have to put my stats in later, don’t have the GPS on me at time of writing. Then managed to get up on an Otter load for a great skydive and I downsized the canopy to a 190. Was a great jump, but lots of traffic on the faster rig. Near Mario and I’m sure my relative newness to the sport scared the crap out of him due to our proximity. Anyhow great landing, stood it up and the conopy comes in much faster than I’ve been used to. Second jump was with Andrea, coach jump. Great jump, back loop, front loop, barrel roll and all were on heading. Good landing which I stood up. Very pleased with the jump and thank you very much Andrea. Made way to Niagara on the Lake on the way home to see what was going on for Canada day and had a great couple beers on a nice patio. All in all perfect Canada day, looking forward to next years.
