| Strong 12mph wind on Tiger, but no thermals even though it was 90F. Nice launch and buzzed around on the lower ridge before heading home since Rich went down and he was giving me a lift and since he was going to the brewpub for a "refreshment".
Rogue beer MacFrog went down a treat! |

| Flight off the North, launched when the cloud came over so was doomed. Landed fine. Stayed away from folk up on launch due to throat infection! |

| Note | |
| rhr:60 slept:2.5 weight:165lbs (rest day) |
| Nothing for me today, I'm wrecked. HR is up 20 bpm, I lost 5 lbs yesterday and after nearly 16 hrs exercise I could only sleep for a couple hours. Was sweating profusely in bed as well, think I may be dehydrated even though I drank over 350oz of fluids (approx 11 litres).
Might be on the bike tomorrow but need some shut-eye tonight.
EDIT: Doc says I have strep throat so that explains the symptoms. |

| Hike (Hike and fly record) 9:00:00 [3]30.0 mi (17:59 / mi) +7620m 6:15 / km | |
| shoes: Montrail Continental Divide#1 |
| This is the hike portion of my RECORD SMASHING 15 HIKE AND FLY's from TIGER MOUNTAIN.
http://www.alpenglow.org/paragliding/history/nw-ch... see july 2001 for existing record.
Felt strong all day and managed a really fast up on the 15th. 7620m gain in 1 day, thats a boat load of climbing. 7.8% of my total elevation gain for the past year and its only 1 day!! Mustn't be doing enough climbing..
Styarted at 4:30am and finished at 9:10pm. |

| I'm logging the total time since I was running around setting up and got put to the front of the line every time I was ready. Might split this up at a later date. Got cheers every time I landed and launched after they realized I was going for the record.
Only 2 suspect launches, both in tricky conditions but I've earned the respect of every NW paragliding member which is nice.
Can't sleep now, 2:30am and throat is really sore. |
