OK flight from Tiger North. No big thermals but plenty of ridge lift. FOlk were up for hours today but I was only there for a while before heading for dinner. Punchy in places but super views.

Hike up Poo-Poo with the paraglider. Legs actually felt pretty good considering.

Another flight up there. Up to 3900 ft but it was pretty bumpy. Thermals tricky to find since there were no clouds. Bags of fun again and super views so high up. Climb rate was around 600 ft/min when I finally got a decent thermal.

West lake to work. Nice tailwind made things easy but my quads are screaming today after running up Mailbox on Sunday.

Racquetball 1:00:00 [3]

Against Bill V. My quads are in tatters but I still eeked out a win 2-0. Adapt overcome and survive.

Hike up Poo-Poo with Paraglider.

Paragliding (Flight #134) 1:01:00 [0]

Yee-haw! Superb flight from Tiger. Made it to cloudbase a couple of times the last one after 6pm which is very late in the day. From 5000ft I flew over to my house then tagged Squak summit for good measure. Excellent fun and no super strong lift, mainly in the 400ft/min range.

Trail Run hills 1:41:00 [4] 5.5 mi (18:22 / mi) +1070m 11:27 / mi

Run up Mailbox Peak. That is a seriously steep hill to run up and down. Bit dissapointing that the views take so long to appear but they are good once up there. Rainier was great today.

Legs quite wobbly when back at the car.
