Jumping Journal: January 17, 2006

Day ??.  It's not easy to keep track of the number of days when they get so far apart, LOL!!!  Boy has Mother Nature ever thrown one of the worst January's our way this year.  December was great and now January isn't worth a crap.  Warm weather and rain twice within the past week and now rain forecast for each day through Saturday except for Thursday.  I guess the jumping can't get much worse, at least as long as you have snow on the ground.

 

Tonight seemed more normal, than again I was in the bibs.  No crashes all evening long.  It seemed like I was back to my good old self again, Mr. Consistency.  I haven't seen that side of me except the past two Tuesdays now.  It has been wild contrasts between each jump each evening.  Now last Tuesday and tonight both have been that simple case of, when you've seen one jump, you've seen them all.

 

Admittedly, over the course of the seven jumps I took tonight each one did get a little bit better from the previous one but it wasn't the big improvement like I saw last Tuesday.  I didn't notice the decent jump position tonight either.  It seemed more like typical jumping for me versus "having the skis in the face" jumping that I had last Tuesday.  I'm not sure what I was doing differently then as compared to tonight.

 

Now to play the waiting game and see when I'll be jumping next.  1-2 inches of rain foreccast for overnight into tomorrow doesn't make tomorrow sound too promising.
