Off to the Nationals tomorrow after work, so tonight is all about charging instruments and GoPro cameras, packing, and making last minute what-to-buy lists (why can I never find my SPF chapstick?)
I'm a lot less nervous than usual this year, likely because this has been a fairly dismal paragliding season for me (just in terms of actual flying hours) so I'm not in as much of a "competitive" mindset. Of course I'm going in with the intention to push myself and fly my best, but am mostly excited that I finally get a chance to fly Every. Single. Day. My boyfriend is competing as well, so getting to fly alongside him for a week is icing on the cake! The other thing I'm looking forward to is sharing the sky with some amazing people...this year there will be a handful of international pilots attending (including Canadians) who have just returned from competing at the Worlds! I'm excited to learn from them and immerse myself in this week-long "paragliding school".
I'll post updates and pictures along the way, along with fun links for anyone who wants to follow along. That's it for tonight - next check in will be from Pemberton!
